blue_jay_bird Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Most teen's are confused in high school, unsure of who they are. I begin my relationship in high school. I feel like i was a empty vessel that begin in a may mirror my boyfriend. All of this sounds pretty creepy but take a look: Mirroring is the psychological term for the behavior in which one person copies another person usually while in some kind of social interaction with them. This is usually subtle and almost every single person does this to some extent (especially if you’re in love!) However, it can be taken too far. To the point where too many of your actions or communication stylings become aligned with how our partner speaks and acts. It’s so easy to pick up on the quirks of another person that we often lose our own way of doing or saying things. This can be taken to the point where even the things we used to hope and dream about become subverted without us even realizing and replaced with the hopes and dreams of our partner. I was happy to do whatever it was that he was up to, but some part of it always felt hollow. I was involved but something was a bit detached. I was more interested in the fact that having this mutual interest allowed us to spend more time together than actually doing the thing itself. Beyond the Borderline Personality: Why are Borderlines so Attractive: Part 2 – Mirroring Just bit's and pieces. I'm not saying you have Borderline Personality. But after the BU i realized i don't know who i am. Anyone feel the same?
