You, again

No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true - Nathaniel Hawthorne

I can imagine how eventually, it can get confusing for some that are professional at being someone else every single time. Not only is it exhausting for the people around you that try to keep up; but it's also emotionally draining as well, because on any given day, they are not sure who they are going to meet.

I personally think (I have friends like this) that people pretend to be someone else based on who they are around and the reputation they want to maintain within those relationships. It's a sad combination of masking the real person inside for fear of being discovered; and having a very low self- confidence.

One day, you will find yourself defenseless and you'll have a hard time acting.
If you are this type of person, I suggest you give it up, quit playing games with yourself, stop creating these multiple lives and just be you.

Happy Saturday!
