thinking about it now, there is another part to self-fulfilling prophecies that's outside oneself.
becoming the thing others think you are and which they treat you as. like "you call me a monster, then i'll be one."
when trying to be yourself, learning to be aware of it, to spite it, to be unaffected by it, i think that's something we all need at some point in our lives.
that and to recognise what people actually think of you, instead of projections.
