The Imitation Trap

Our behavior is constantly influenced by others and we don't even realize it.

People with a clear self-image can easily identify with characters from movies, fairy tales or stories because they understand who they are.

But those who have yet to find themselves or whose essence has been suppressed struggle with this.

We are all born with a core energy, but the impressions we collect shape us deeply.

The movies we watch, our parents, neighbors, friends, first love, all of these leave imprints on our subconscious.

Fun fact:

If we find someone likable and they appear dominant, we start mimicking their behavior.

We also copy the behavior of people we dislike - just in reverse.

Even those who harm or repel us shape us in their own way.

We think we are independent, but in reality, we are part of a larger system that subtly yet constantly shapes Us.

It's up to us to recognize this web, to consciously see what influences us.

Because the forces that steer Us unconsciously are ultimately the hidden power that shapes our lives.
