I like this idea - takes some of the stress away for me, like it's about growth that still occurs within the integrity of our personality. Seems like that could have been the third follow-up video - the new direction that could get us out of the conundrum she mentions.It occurs to me why the word "mask" bothers me so much

a mask involves falsity.
I am more comfortable thinking of "acting normal" as being
an additional facet to a personality, rather than a coverup.

I am not sure, but I think these statements are
equivalent. I could be wrong, but it seems that
