Have you pretended to be someone else even if you are not? I mean, for example, when meeting new "friends"... That you are not your true self... Your disguising yourself... Have you experienced that before? I mean, it's REALLY HARD to disguise your true self and not be opened to others...

Am I Real? Am I Just An Illusion?...
Then What Am I?
Am I Nothing To You?
Am I A Toy To You To Use?
If You Must Know, You Must Find Out Yourself.
Cause... Im Just A Nothing.

In real life? No. I can't do it. But in virtual reality.... yes, I used to pretend, but then, I couldn't take it anymore... My own conscience is killing me. T-T

in realife ive never really tried
ive kinda on the web but i really suck at it

government officials do it all the time, it takes that kind of breed of man that relies on image to sustain power in politics.

when i was younger i did a lot of dumb stuff, and this topic is one of them, be someone i'm not...

it turns out that role playing games were to blame, mixin' up reality with games. then again, blame can't all go down that road. i think we all wonder how it would be to be someone else at one point or another, some take it further, some cant take it at all. whatever the reasons, people always do weird stuff... thats life.

well no not really.... i mean i try to be my true self...it always work out well though

I don't want to pretend.... I'm always true to myself... :)

Accepting who you are is part of your life. Trying to compare yourself to models or pretending being someone is a path to this.
No results without experiences

I think that everyone puts on an act to some extent when you meet new people. You sort of feel out the situation - see how they respond, and the more these people seem to accept you the more you relax. The persona of what you are "pretending" to be slowly disolves. That's when the real you starts to come out, and when the real you gets shunned the masks come back out. Sometimes there's a realization that the "real" you wouldn't fit in here, so you do become someone else. You act a certain way around your parents, around close friends, and around teachers, etc. Each group sees a "version" of the real true self of you. Have you ever wondered why we sometimes feel so anxious when two or more groups that you always interact with meet? There's the thoughts and wondering of how you should act so that you don't come off as being a "fake" you to either one of the groups while they're meeting each other. The "real" you is always fluxuating, therefore there is no "one ture you."

That's a lot of stuff, and I hope that it's clearer than mud. ^_^; My final thought: I really think that you can't truely be happy if you are not true to yourself. Think about how you act around different groups and where you feel you most belong and are most happy - that is the "true" you.

When i meet new ppl i dont reveal my true self by not talkin at all. Then ppl think i'm a wierdo or something... But also when i talk i try not to be what i really am and i care what others think of me. I have a reputation to make if i want to be successful in the future.

If you concider being withdrawn/observant as "pretending", then i'm guilty of that.

Life is cool sometimes... life is sux sometimes...
When our life kick our minds, we must drink more beer
and listen more cool music.
''To be", I think.

I can never do that in both real life and virtual life

For me thats the best explaination as well. When I meet new people, I put up the so-called (be me) neutral, yet intersted and sociable appearance. But when I'm with people that I know and who knows me, then I'm relaxed and I don't try to make up an interesting topic of conversation. We know each others likes and dislikes and usually talk about stuff we all can relate to. But then again, I can act, or appear differently in different situations. If my parents saw me during some of our late night revelries, they'd disown me. You ppear differently towards different people.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that here aren't a "real" me, even though it fluctuates. Rather, there aren't a standard me, I'm always develioping and adapting.So lets say that there are different aspects or apearences of me, each one specialized to a specialized situation.

well...i am not "me" if i´m with new ppl or with "special" ppl who are not like me..like they dont like my interest..then i try to be more like them..for example: if im with my real friends ím talkign a lot of games and animes..or soemthing

but with other i try to be more like them+there interest...well its not bad either or wrong i think..sometimes u have to fit to others..and so u dont get boring maybe of only one subject^^' (like animes+games..)

its nice to talk about something else too...

When it comes to meeting a new person, I am myself...but I magnetize certain things depending on the person. I'd be the "loud" me around a more quiet person, or I'd be super nice and quiet around someone I respect. In the end, I'm just me...nothing magnetized 'cause it all falls down once you get to know 'em.

for me i act differently around different people. is that called a disguise? i wonder...but i wouldnt act like someone else just to fit in or whatever.

eventually no one actually knows my true self except for my dad and yes i dont have friends and i do diguise myself when im meeting new people i dont wanna get hurt i dont think its wrong i hide myself but i dont pretend to be someone else
