OK, you must be pulling up some discussion from a while back…. I get what you are saying in acting/thinking/being who we believe we are rather than focusing on who we are not. So in your example, if I am not a cold person, then am I a happy person, a warm person, a bubbly person, etc? Is this what you're driving at?
Well, for me, that would take a little introspection, going back to a time when I felt I was the real me, before I felt influenced to be or act one way or another, to please or not to please. I then have to meld that with who I think I should be now, whether that past image of myself is still relevant today. I’ve thought about that some but I’ll mull over it some more.
