The term "personality", used to describe the traits that make each human being an individual, is a misnomer. "Personality traits" are merely outward manifestations of insecurities, of which nearly all humans are suffused with. The only secure people are those with absolutely no "personality".
Consider various "personality traits":
Humour- Little more than a defense mechanism utilised in order to deflect attention from oneself and onto a situation, alternative person etc.
Kindness- Little more than a desperate attempt to win the approval of others.
Ambitiousness - Little more than deep dissatisfaction with oneself and one's position in life.
As a consequence, our personalities are little masks which we wear, even to deceieve ourselves, each personality hiding from the others, every person a set of personalities, insecurities.
But where, boys and girls, do insecurities come from? They are bred from fear, and fear is the greatest enemy of all.
Take off your masks; do not be afraid.
Think about it.
