The “real” Cybill Shepherd
I went to a training seminar for professional speakers. As part of the program, they gave us a written “Personality Test.” I think I failed mine.Instead of coming out as one personality type or even a mix of two, I matched every type equally.I thought back to the movie Sybil, where Sally Field portrayed a woman with 16 different personalities.
The woman sitting next to me leaned over and whispered, “So how did you score on your personality test?”
“I’m Sybil.” I replied softly.
“Really,” she said loudly, “You’re Cybil Shepherd!”
Not long after that, I was grocery shopping at Costco. An older woman kept staring at me.Finally, she walked over and as she got closer, she exclaimed, “Oh, you’re not you.”
I pretty sure I know who I am—if I get confused, I can look at my driver’s license. God knows who I am because he made me. My true identity is safe.
