Are you the real you at all times, or are you the person you think others want you to be?

    I totally feel you on that! I'm the same in person as I am online as I am to a stranger or a friend. Why bother with changing up around everyone?

    I think most of the time we're all actors. But, when we are vulnerable we're showing our core self

    I am always real, and you have to know my personality often times to understand me. So random strangers I will just make a comment to, or say things on the internet that can easily be mistaken as an innuendo or some other type of meaning.

    my thought is if people dont like me, oh well...

    But what if I don't believe anyone to be anything in particular?

    Everyone pretends to be someone else at some time. Even if it's only a little or only to certain people.

    I grew up obsessing over what people thought about me, and it continued up through college (because let's be real, going away to a university is extremely similar to high school)

    But a few years ago I finally stopped giving a *kitten*. I'm pretty darn real, I say what I think, I share real things about my life, and I'm not ashamed to be silly or controversial or outspoken. However, the one caveat to that is that I fully believe in picking your battles, because unnecessary drama is... well... unnecessary.

    Pretty much the only situation where I still act 'fake' is when I'm new at a job, or around customers -- because you can never let on that you are angry or upset when you work in retail. I've gotten really good at plastering on a smile when I would love nothing more than to say "well **** you too ma'am" to a b!tchy customer...

    Unfortunately there are a lot of actors in this world. There is no being naked like being vulnerable.

    I am myself at all times. I make no apologies for who I am and offer a great big specific finger to the people who have a problem with it. Yes, it makes it tough to make friends sometimes, but it quickly weeds out weak or overly-sensitive people who I would end up disliking, anyways. Worth it.

    I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND! Been there done that! If you are sensitive watch out around me

    I think people only do that if they are people pleasing. I don't think that everyone does it. Some people just let it all hang out

    It's not really just "people pleasing", if you have a crappy boss or co-worker you can't exactly just b!tch them out whenever you feel like it. There are certain situations in life where it is prudent to not be 100% "real"
