This concept is called integrity (inside view) and authenticy (outside view) .

I'd sign this post, if i could.

I have heard that there are three sides to each of us: how we view our self, how others view us, and how we really are.

I had not heard of Wittgenstein before this. He seemed like an interesting guy to have a conversation with. I can't remember where I heard this idea about the 3 selves, but maybe it was from one of his quotes. I imagine it's been brought up through the centuries or millennia.

To me it was brought by the character "Trinity" in the first "Matrix"-movie in 1999 before 9/11.

Coincidence ? Naaa, i don't think so. The "first" ones writing about and inspiring concepts like these were Kirkegaard and Wittgenstein, if i remember correctly and afaik .
