sometimes i wonder how many versions of me live in people’s minds, and how few of them actually match who i really am 🧐

I think zero
There’s a book called One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello about this. It’s one of my favorites.
i would guess the same. we all have different versions of the people we surround ourselves with
imma add to my list 👀 i love these types of books 📚
not only that but we also don't know ourselves, so sometimes what we think is the real us is not the real us
how so? i would think you know yourself better than your friends or family. at least if you have a deep connection to yourself. and also we evolve throughout our life
Everyday I try to have a deeper connection with myself, and very often I figure things about myself that I didn't know.
For example, let's say I talk very loud and I am not conscious of it, in my mind, I will think that I talk normal, but after I realize that I speak loudly, then I'll realize how wrong I was.
But I guess the ultimate core of our friendly discussion is this:
What is the real you? I don't think you are your thoughts, emotions, body and personality
