An excellent point

I agree with that view, but not that it is something to get away from. I'd further extend it, as well: If you're doing anything that doesn't come instinctually, its a result of outside influences. You really can't make a distinction between a "real" you and a you-acting-differently-because-of-the-outside, because to get anything at all you have to change what counts as outside influence, and I just see that as arbitrary. I still vehemently oppose the idea that there is a "real" you, but that is just down to base personal beliefs and I don't like arguing about those.
