The Iceberg Theory of Selfhood

We show the average person about twenty-five percent of our real selves.

If we spend a good deal of time around them, we may show about thirty-five percent of our real selves.

Our friends and family generally see about fifty-five percent of our real selves.

If our friends or relatives are really, really, really close to us, they get to see sixty-five percent of our real selves.

My best friend (Mi Mejor Amiga) knows about seventy-five of the real me.

Someday I may show her the rest.

But then again someday I may not.
