I Need to Come Out of My Shell

I put on this fake personality in public and with people who I am not used to spending much time with in person, and I do it because I think people won't like the real me. But the truth is, they like they fake me less than the real me.

How do you feel about the fake person?

@MarkPaul He's a boring, quiet, inconspicuous person.

@33person So, why do you allow him to run your life?

@MarkPaul I think it's, in a way, how I was taught to act in public, especially in school. Because it probably made me easier for teachers to handle. But this wouldn't be the first thing I was taught by an authority figure that I've determined was false, so you are correct: it's time to kick that bastard out of my life.

@33person Easier said than done, I know. I have a similar set-up.
