we all change how we deal with different people / situations by being different parts of ourself, whether we are aware of it or not. everybody has different experiences and values so finding some common way to communicate is essential

even if you feel that there are a few people you are totally close to and it is only them you are yourself with, i disagree, because you aren’t showing them the sides of yourself that you show other people… you are acting differently with them too

i guess it might hard to say what ‘yourself’ means

exactly

we are who we are, warts an all :love:

i too am myself all the time …be it very good or naughty…i dont put no airs an graces on for noone …you have to be true to yourself….and be yerselfraaa
love ‘the verse’ lyrics that go ” im a million different people from one day to the next,i can’t change my mode,no,no,no,no,no,no….

yes….be yourself…..whether others will be comfortable with it or not is another matter

I think you are (as globaloon said) always showing some aspect of yourself even if you are “trying to be someone else”, but there are as raj said ways of putting on masks in “work” situations…

it is possible to an extent to be “someone you are not” but takes a heavy toll (I remember reading somewhere that “deep cover” cops/spies/customs people often need counselling because of the mental impact of this..)

think I like they way this makes sense to me,

I also sat and thought and whether I am shy in an unfarmiliar place or comfortable with my best mates, or rowing with my partner – I am myself – I have degree’s of a ‘mask’ I use to protect myself and my privacy but even at work I am known to be me and an individual, despite the different levels of conformaty needed in some aspects of it and I can also get into difficulties when people dont ‘get’ me

have taken a long time to get where I am and be comfortable with myslef and certain aspects of the party scene helped me with this in particular with my confidence or previous lack of it

i am so realy myself that i have forgotten what im really like i have a personality disorder (or so the man tells me) called hpd so im basically jsut an ego maniac trying to impress everybody 24/7 and my family i tend to not be that close to cause i dont think they really understand anything about my life at the moment

I always think of me instead of others.

cheers man i enjoyed reading that lol, its not like a huge issue as such, more just i need to be mr center of attention, was alot worse when i was younger but alot of kids act out like, im not really a fan of the whole personality disorders as excuses thing that society is using oh so often now, i think im easy to egt on with but im rarely being my real self in front of people

Yeah man it is, most of the time
we’d all have something else we’d rather be doing (?)
