Our sense of self is a kind of construct. It is in some ways like a novel, and it's like a fabric of fictions that we patch together from memory.

It just is nothing foreign to consciousness at all that could present itself to consciousness through the mediation of phenomena different from the liking itself; to like is intrinsically to be conscious.

Often we're recreating what we think we're supposed to be as human beings. What we've been told we're supposed to be, instead of who we authentically are. The key about the creation of full self-expression is to be authentically who you are, to project that.

The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.

We try to create this interesting appearance to make ourselves feel better about ourselves.

I will never be able to fix myself enough to the point I like myself, so I just jumped to the point where I said, 'I like myself as I am.'

My personality is that I like to express myself, and that is not something I will look to change.

I try to make myself look as normal as possible because I like people to relate to me.

We're constantly morphing into different outward manifestations of ourselves. That's what I find curious about people.
