>Your younger self contains the purest essence of who you are
This is the kind of idealization crap I mentioned

There is no essence to begin with. The concept of a true self doesn't exist, most personality traits are mutable. They're rarely ever 'fixed' or stuck. Even with people with preferences like introversion and extraversion. You'll find their personality is quite fluid, we often change and sway from different positions throughout our lives. These kind of ideas really jumble people up and make them miss the bigger picture

It's no surprise why marketers and modern advertising appeal to these ideas. We're often told we need to 'become our true selves' or whatever, or believe we 'lost' a part of our childhood self
