What we call an individual's personality or character are often egoic energies that the person has unknowingly and deeply entrenched within their psyche.
We simply call them cynics, pessimists, independent, grumpy, outrageous or conversely optimists, givers, opinionated, dependable, or accommodating, mistaking nature for concretized psychic energies.
Unless a person is organically and spontaneously changing depending on circumstances, exhibiting different traits that don't fit neatly into particular constructs, unable to be codified and locked into specific categories, they are locking themselves into temporary egoic states as permanent ways of being.
We then label this as an individual's personality or character, sentencing them into an unchangeable box from which there is seemingly no hope of breaking out from.
That is not to say that everything is malleable. The state of deep presence of one's masculinity and the flow of their femininity, indeed, when healthy, is omnipresent.
Within the inner development, spiritual and therapeutic communities, there is the understanding that the healing of trauma and conditioning changes various aspects of one's personality.
However, in my experience, the identification and classification of what is changeable, and what is part of one's nature, doesn't go deep enough.
So question the type of person that you are. Wonder as to what those in your lives what describe your character to be.
And then reflect on if these are traits that you have acquired, and incorporated as identity.
For this too can shift as the traits and indeed identities are questioned.
If this resonates, reach out to see how you could grow beyond a fixed personality or character.
