most interactions with acquaintances and friends are them asking, "Oh, how was that Thing You Told Me About?"
so you're constructing an identity by what you reveal about yourself to people. You could be an aspiring tech entrepreneur, a suicidal divorcee with a DUI hearing this week, a hobo investigating a national conspiracy |

one could try to change the social situations/surroundings that they're in, but in doing so, they're still performing as The Kind Of Person Who Would Do That Sort Of Thing |
