Without a Social Mask


Posts: 3882

I see many of you choose to disguise yourselves behind false personalities.  Have you ever considered just letting people know what you are. I'm not saying to go around flaunting your disorders, but to act within your own nature without covering your footprints.

I act as so. I find myself using deliberation more than lies and deceit. I do not express my unapathetic opinion unless it is inquired. I've made good relations by just stating my views, no matter how devoid of empathy they may be. My friends and co workers like the fact that I'm brutally honest, and commonly ask me for advice.

Being like this keeps things simple. There is no need for a tangled web of lies, besides I've gained something far stronger than fear. Respect, and it has given me the favors and services I desire. 

I am not saying it is for everyone, but it is a suggestion. I am sure some of you only feel comfortable hiding behind lies and there is nothing wrong with that if it suits you well.

And there are some of us who aren't hiding behind false personalities, but are perceived as doing so. At least on here anyway.

Off the net, hiding behind a false personality helps us blend in.

 

I act as so.

But we don't actually know that. So, we can just as easily assume that you're hiding behind a false personality.

Most of us here don't know each other from a bar of soap. Who's to say who is real here and who isn't. Who is truly in a position to make that judgement other than ourselves?

I understand your view, that is why I stated this was merely a suggestion in the OP.

I have pondered how I perceived myself for as long as I can remember.  What I find the most effective is actually comparing the opinions of long time friends/family and look at the correlations within their descriptions. See if they all explain a reoccurring theme, of course this may not be reliable if you act differently around them(like I referenced in the OP).

Masks offline require more effort than they are worth. In the end, it's obvious and you are the fool. Losing Respect is not a good idea.

Online, you can be any clown you want. Meaningless child's play for the most part, rarely it is not. Online is lalaland for  Tomfoolery, Narc feed and other bs.

no. 

I think therefor we got that 'social mask', not to get someone with the huge categorizing branding iron walking up to you and smashing it into your face. 

I would love to see the people I know react to it, but I'd rather not. 
Some people get my insight on a certain topic, and find it creepy because they have exeeded their daily dosis of shocking questionable moral and cruelty. 

Plus, I personally think it's the guard you shouldn't let down, just flake. If you meet someone you really hate, you can still try it on them. 

I don't think that 'fear', as you call it will always be in your favour.
