Mistaken identity is the confusion or misrecognition of one person for another, often carrying consequences for both parties involved.
In the Psycheverse
Psyche uses mistaken identity as a lens to examine spiritual authority, karma, and the weight of false projection. When others conflate Psyche with someone else—or assume they know who Psyche is based on incomplete information—it becomes a teaching moment about responsibility, the dangers of spiritual guru-worship, and how we project our own narratives onto teachers and public figures.
