I don't know that this is the perfect folder for the topic but - Haven and PPR are a bit awkward as well since we don't simply have a 'psychology' folder.
Question: Do any of you look in a mirror at yourself, at pictures, at people who look like you, at your family, and also look at your internal struggles and everything you have to fight with, and halfway feel like 'you' invaded some innocent person at birth who should be a perfect conforming image of normality? Almost like the I experience you have and the out-of-sync personality you have is a parasitic presence crushing down the person who 'should' be in there?
I don't necessarily believe it to be the case with me but wow, sometimes it just feels uncanny... |

| YES! I have that problem frequently, and the only way I can convey it to others is using the film as an example. It is sometimes paired with a fear that people know I'm not the person I appear to be, or a desire to " mess with" their life. I always would get a blank stare in return when I explain this to others. |
