Simply Imagining Other People Can Change Our Own Sense Of Self

digest.bps.org.uk

New study shows that our personal memories might not be personal at all.
All it takes to change your memories is thinking about a different person, and considering how they would approach what happened to you.
Perhaps our character isn’t as unique as we think, but more fluid, and changed by every person we meet.
Our evaluation of ourselves changes even when we think of objects, not just other people.
