It can be polished or muddied but it remains the same, often revealing itself with age the same way in does in early youth. Some of us can become what we want to be in regards to our interactions with others, and even, or especially, ourselves, while others become on the outside what life has made us but IMO it all swirls around a genetically influenced "you".
The "you" that you believe in is no more real than the make believe "you" that you create for the internet. Both are personalities that you create and attempt to control (not always successfully) and both have a lot more plasticity than you think. The real difference is that you actually believe in one of them. That can change.
