Facades are an abstraction and becoming a bit annoying to me. I am getting to the point where they have become more like excuses. I am finding myself boxing myself into what I describe as personalities. I am limiting my experiences and reactions to this facade or that facade. I have reached a point where over analyzing has set in like lactic soreness. I have stifled my own creative interpersonal development by assigning facades from the Jungian framework. I am rebelling from my own authority.
I am realizing that my individuality is being broken into communities, labeled as facades. Like a Russian doll, I am ready to individuate even more. I am not going to address my victimization and internalized defense mechanisms as a facade but more like a draw bridge I have drawn down or up as situations are perceived. A true mechanism not a personality trait.
The beauty about having a brain is that it helps me distract myself from the realities that are wanting to teach me about the vastness within me. The more I analyze, the more I realize I can spiral into complexity. I also get spit out into the lukewarm waters of simplicity. Sometimes making progress is as simple as willing to be taken advantage of, the openness to being incorrect, a vulnerability to be seen as gentle, or forgiving the hesitations that create regret. Being a better man is not being a perfect man. Perfection is complexity while appreciation might be simplicity. Regardless I am a victim of my own perceptions, and my appreciation has been lacking.
