缺失自我意識的危險 (The Dangers of Missing a Sense of Self)
05:42
- Until at some point, the wind changes. Our beloved without a self starts a new job, develops different friends and starts to hang out with a crowd they take to be superior. What replaces their approval of us isn't just gentle disinterest. It will probably be disdain. We become as repulsive to them as we were once extraordinary. They may say, you don't really know me or you expect me to be perfect. They feel trapped by the very borrowed identity they once sought out so avidly from us. There is considerable anger in their system because they know that someone has quashed their true self. They simply forget that it wasn't us. They know implicitly that they've been prevented from becoming who they are and hold us responsible for stifling them. They may say, with an early adolescent level of scorn, you're controlling me, when what they really mean is, I don't know who I am, I've surrendered control to you and now can't work out what to think. Or, more profoundly, I can't determine the line between being loved and being controlled because a parent who was meant to do the former was more interested in the latter. We can find ourselves dropped like a stone. And yet ironically, we may have been very right for them, they just didn't know enough about who they were to trust their original instincts. The best we can do for people who have been denied a self is to signal that we aren't, as their parents once were, only there to foist yet another set of views on them. We won't demand that they echo us. We want to be curious about someone they've never yet been allowed to discover. We're keen to do a very eerie and unparalleled thing. Get to know them properly.
