UPDATE @ BOTTOM
I had or have so many different personalities going, no one knew who I really was. They still don’t know. No one really knows but my son maybe. haha. You can role-play in real life just as in games. People think they know you or spend years thinking they know you, but they really have no idea. That’s very clear in the criminal shows as well “I thought I knew them, that was out of character etc.” You don’t ever have to present your real self should you choose not to. And I think we agree we hate FAKE People because that’s another extreme where people present success, money, stories full of lies, or other bullshit when you really know they’re full of shit.
It is work maintaining so many personalities for sure and sometimes you forget which one you’re playing:
- Gamer
- Woke work person (to not get fired)
- Church person
- Hardcore Thug
- Online toxic asshole personality
- Nice person
- Parent
- Aggressive Driver
- Conservative Right Wing
What I say is you really never know people. Even people you spend 20 years with. That’s why people are idiots to fall for politicians or hollywood who are just ACTING. That’s why the employees at businesses are fake because they are paid to like you. That’s why coworkers are not your REAL friends unless you know them outside of work and even still, I saw plenty of fake/crazy shit going on there as well. The social media friends (that you’ve known for decades) who like your posts are not your real friends.
So what’s the goal here? Adapt and survive I suppose. Do whatever it takes to survive in the horrible environment you’re put in or extricate yourself from that environment.
This was missing a conclusion but what really matters is your TRUE friends that stand by you no matter what and your family and fuck everyone else.
