Funny that you ask this. I recall reading about this a while ago although I can't find what I was reading. Apparently this is called "ego suicide." Killing your original self and letting the personality you created takeover your entire being.
- TeaDude 4y agoI have an further question. No pressure if you don't remember or it wasn't listed. (I'm really interested in anyone who can answer this) Is there a term for when you believe that that "original ego" was killed by something else? Be it killed by "the world" or some serious life event or revelation or something.
- evocatus 4y agoThis is the ego death. You could fill libraries with what has been written on this phenomenon, though under many different names.
- kevin_b_er 4y agoLooking at the wikipedia page, I'd say "ego death" sounds like a very different concept. What the parent posters are talking about is when you have two personalities: the original and the mask, but the mask stays on so long it becomes the new permanent personality. The original "ego" is gone and already replaced. "ego death" sounds like a loss of the only personality. There's no alternate.
