<p>I don't feel like there's really a blur between my daydreams and my real life personality. Mine are pretty much separate. I rarely daydream about myself.<br/><br/>But there is a difference between who I am on the inside and the personality I express outwards. I don't express myself much at all. I'm very closed, private, untalkative and I don't trust people easily, so I feel like others see a very small part of my personality, which creates a certain gap between who I am and who I'm seen as.<br/><br/>There's also a gap between my abilities and my interests, which has often affected my career path. For example, there was a time when I was very interested in psychology and had a desire to become a psychologist and help people, but I'm autistic and have somewhat limited social skills, which might make dealing with patients difficult for both sides, so I knew psychology might not be the best career path for me, even though it was one of the most interesting ones I could think of.</p>
