analyze this

So today Shuqi was telling me some psychology thing about the 3 selves that come into play when interacting with someone. For example, your ideal self, actual self, and the self that the other person perceives interchange when you interact with someone else. So in a sense, you show others what you want them to see by changing your "self". Cheemology.

But I think in a way it's true. My theory is that it depends on how well you know the other party. If we've only met a few times, of course I'd show you my ideal self, and not my actual self. I'll also behave in the way that I think is acceptable to you. If you're some respectable person, then of course you'd almost never see my actual self. But if we're close friends, then what you see is what you get haha. Cuz then, I wouldn't be afraid to show you my actual self, no matter how stupid I'd look haha.

Aiya, then again, there really isn't a need to analyze everything. It's ok to take things at face value once in a while. Don't overcomplicate matters, cuz things are already complicated as it is. If you think too much, and try to look too much below the surface, you'd only end up hurting yourself. Some things are better left alone I guess. I used to analyze every little thing and every little gesture, but it didn't get me anywhere. Cuz really, many times, what you see is what you get. What is meant to be seen will eventually come out into the open sooner or later. So just wait for it.

Pfft. I dunno what I'm saying. I should go to bed.

I'm developing my sense of humor,
till I can laugh at my heart between your teeth,
till I can laugh at my face beneath your feet.
