do you believe that character can come from the inherent depth of a person?

I think of how intelligence is perceived. Can it be all in the delivery of what you say and the timing? Is it know facts that you know and how you apply them? All of those things. But also I think about being in touch with one's inner self. How to come to terms with the self in a way that is real. I think about how what it actually means to have depth. Not only the delivery and presentation of yourself, but how you organize and collect the thoughts inside your head. I have often struggled with these concepts because they are so abstract. I do hope that some day I can become more second natured in how I carry myself. In this stage it is kind of like a paranoid and awkward dance, very unhinged.

If your reality is stronger and you're not batshit insane, people will perceive you how you want (in your case-a deep person who can carry himself well)

When you say the inherent depth of a person, do you mean to imply that we have various depths to ourselves compared to each other? Because I say that the core of everyone's being is in the same place, no further away than anyone else's. The seeming difference between how easy it is to get in touch with it is merely created by the amount of what we take from reality to shape our personality and identity.

The more worldly and superficial a person you are, the more of life's baggage you will inevitably carry, and the less likely you are to be in touch with 'the self' and vice versa.

you're making me cringe reading this. If I have to simplify what i say for you then the meaning is lost.

Why would you cringe? Wisdom is discernment though simplicity.

On top of that, I asked you to elaborate which automatically implies that your point is even more complex.

Somebody's character or personality is literally just the empirical connection of their properties.
