Was gonna write a blog post about how to grow an authentic personality as an adult who grew up in abuse or a cult or authoritarianism in some form that prevented healthy personality formation in childhood. Where we grew up with a pseudo personality, a false self, constantly wearing a mask and there not being a "real me" under the mask! Because it could never form.
But it can form at any age, if given the chance. Freedom from abuse, safety, and even just one healthy, supportive relationship are what we need. Souls are resilient and can never be fully suppressed, not forever. We can get traumatised and messed with and all sorts of stuff, but we still have our true potential in us, somewhere, even if it is (temporarily) hidden.
Like a flower out of a dung heap, we can grow. Post traumatic growth is real.

CW: Psychology: Autistic Masking vs. Narcissistic False Self
I’ve been thinking about the drastic difference between #AutisticMasking and the #FalseSelf of #Narcissism
For starters, Autistic Masking is deeply rooted in empathy and is emotionally exhausting, while the False Self is completely disconnected from emotions and effortless.
Autistic Masking is rooted in authentic communication, our “functionality” defined by our success at translating the true self for the benefit of those incapable of understanding us otherwise, while the False Self of Narcissism is rooted in inferiority, deception, and manipulation.
But this is a deep and complicated subject, with a great deal of conflicting opinions in the literature. Do you know of any relevant research on this subject? Please let me know!
