I've noticed that my entire life I form images/realizations of who I want to be or what I want to become and I seem to be propelled to fulfill those roles as perfectly as possible.
Through this experience I could say I've become a talented actor. But not only that, I've also gained each of these roles as a unique identity which I can bring up if I try hard enough.
Sometimes I'm the caring empathetic lover, sometimes the tyrannical yet effective leader, sometimes the closet empath, sometimes a social butterfly, other times the consumed busy body student. I know we [humans] all go through such phases but I'm talking about taking these to a further level, and I'm also referring to a more vague sense of role.
I think this is directly linked with our Ni and its habit of having visions and wanting to fulfill them -- or 'profound visions of change'. I also think this is why many of us are mistyped -- because we have a drawer filled with various personas and at times truly believe that the persona we're playing is the real us.
For the longest time I've considered myself an xNTJ, because I've had a very strong sense of analysis and always seem stoic & apathetic; cool-headed in any situation. Though I've realized that most of this comes from an image I was trying to fulfill -- an image of intelligence, leadership, 'coolness'. Basically, my life is a role-playing game (I don't find any shame in that, I actually see much beauty in it).
I'm not being very clear, I'll edit this later, hopefully you can somewhat understand.
Do you identify?
