David Bowie Psychology

[xx Bowie]

So I was reading my mother's Psychology book and guess what I found!?

Who is the real David Bowie?
We all change how we see ourselves but probably not as much as rock star david Bowie, who, through the yers, has radically changed his looks, clothes, and personal values. For example, Bowie's earlier looks (top photo) and behaviors might be described as having pushed society's limits. Now, however, Bowie is in his 50s and appears quite conventional in hairstyle and clothes (bottom photo), and he has adopted many of society's values, such as getting married. The question is, Which is Bowie's real self?

[[The top photo was of him in the Labyrinth. The bottom photo was of him around Let's Dance. It makes no sense with what they were saying. Haha.]]

Carl Rogers said that his clients often asked questions relatied to their selves: "How do I find myself?" "Why do I sometimes feel that I don't know myself?" "Why do I say or do things that aren't really me?" Rogers developed a clever answer.. BLAH BLAH BLAHHHH..
In working out discrepancies between out ideal and real selves, we may undergo a variety of changes in looks, clothes, and behaviors, such as David Bowie experienced.

It sort of ticked me off to read it. ///:

The anomaly that is 'yourself' cannot possibly be described simply in the manner with which you dress etc., that outward appearance tends to be much more a representation of those aesthetic qualities you find most attractive (and/or find most attractive when fitted with your body type/facial features) at the time than a representation of who you are as a person. This psychology book passage is a good example of people in general attempting to connect Bowie's frequent changes in look to some deep uncertainty about himself, when really he has just a rather short attention span.

Also, I try to distance myself from general Labyrinth-related information, but was that movie not made after the whole Let's Dance era? I agree with you, the text makes no sense in relation to the photographs. May I ask who is the author of this work?

P.S. Excuse me for my incessantly literary language in this post, I have just been perusing many wikipedia articles on and related-to Carl Jung and Friedrich Nietzsche, and it seems those wikipedia contributors who are involved in philosophy enjoy the utilisation of long and at times incomprehensible diction while explaining relatively elementary, even rudimentary concepts. Once again, I firmly offer you my sincerest apologies, and I hope as well as I'm sure you do that my vocabular affliction will wear off post-haste.

*Nibbles Thin's ear* I like when you use big words. It makes me feel as if Our babe will be more intelligent than if you spoke like the rest of us. :3
