A common craze in modern psychology is the advice to «become yourself.» Is it necessary to strive to seek the true self, or is it better to learn how to effectively use a set of masks? “The mask is an ambiguous thing. On the one hand, this is a lie. On the other hand, it is a necessity, — says Oleg Novikov. — Probably, it is important to distinguish between social, for example, service relations, and human, personal. A mask in society can be part of a ritual, a necessity. The mask in personal relationships can be part of the deception and the beginning of the war. I do not believe in a universal recipe in this area. The mask has unpleasant features. The mask sticks, the mask is often put on out of fear, and then they are afraid to take it off. The mask is often mistaken for their real face. But the mask is always poorer. And the face under it, sorry, sometimes deteriorates. By wearing it all the time, we lose ourselves a little… On the other hand, by removing the mask at the wrong time, we sometimes force people to see what they would not like to see. Sometimes we show what we would not like to show. In any case, there is no single answer. Discretion is required: both from the one who wears the mask, and from the one who deals with this person. “Any person, when he communicates with someone, he communicates from the position of some kind of image,” says Igor Nezovibatko. — I am a lot of different images. There are images that are adequate in a given situation, useful, and there are images that are inadequate — incorrectly applied, or taking away a lot of strength and energy from a person, or those that do not lead to the goal. For a more developed person, the set of images is more interesting and varied, and they are richer, more diverse, for a less developed person, it is less diverse, more primitive. Therefore, How long should they be opened or not? Rather, it is necessary to create the set of images that leads to the goal, does not take a lot of strength and energy, and does not exhaust a person. They are needed if they help to reach the goal.”
