Deeper Understanding
There's a perpetual tension between the self you present and the self that wants to break free. You might perform conventionality while inwardly screaming, or sabotage your own image just when it starts feeling like a cage.
Your impulse toward freedom can manifest as sudden life changes that shock even you—quitting jobs abruptly, ending relationships without warning, upending your entire lifestyle.
