Staging yourself or rather staging something by yourself?

Most people are probably familiar with the desire to shape and embellish their own self-image and have it constantly confirmed. Whether one is able to observe this in oneself or whether it is perceived as strenuous in the behavior of others is perhaps of secondary importance to this question.
In this episode I'm trying to find out what valid reasons could be behind this move, which could possibly be satisfied with a kind of paradoxical intervention: the risk of simply letting the staging really rip and turning everyday situations into great epics to write comedy or tragedy. If we are aware of what we are doing and we learn to play with it, we are no longer helplessly at the mercy of this compulsion to stage ourselves and can also - every time - take a deep sip of life.
Salute and have fun!
