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.
