Disappearing Person

Sometimes people lose their personal aspirations and instead take on the aspirations of someone or something they admire. This can happen to anyone, regardless of their achievements.


Examples of when this might occur:

🔹 At work
— People may become so focused on achieving organizational goals that they forget their own goals.
— The idea that you must stay with one company forever may cause people to sacrifice their personal goals for the sake of the organization.
— People may choose careers based on what others expect of them, rather than what they truly want.

🔹 In relationships (of any kind)
— disregard personal experiences and goals in order to please someone you feel indebted to or admire.
— completely change their clothing style based on the partner’s preferences.

On the surface, this behavior may seem harmless and well-meaning, but in reality, it is not.

💚 Our personal tastes are a reflection of our many years of experimentation with the world around us.


How to identify? 🎯

Pay attention to drastic changes in your goals, personal mood, and the things that make you happy and fulfilled.
