90- RESOCIALIZATION!....

A break from the past....
One can think in terms of, like everything in society, at least two approaches. I'll take the upside that involves changing an individal's personality and social behavior.
One breaks up with someone special...changes jobs or positions...divorces...friendships change...depressed.... You can accomplish the goal by altering that style of dress...a different hairstyle or speech...internalizing more freedom of movement. To many, conforming in society is a norm...to others, conformity is not acceptable to an individual's sense of self.
I noticed someone recently who changed that sense of self with a hairstyle and color. She had a smile more often at her workplace, and accomplished more on the job. Going off to college is an excellent resocialization tool. One can get away from that high school 'character' that's been around for four years by creating a different personna with different friends in a different setting, and it's all normal and not deceptive.
