A question about masking

Deleted user

I hear a lot about masking, but I'm not aware of myself consciously and deliberately doing that. I wonder however. Can masking be a subconscious/reflex thing rather than something that you purposely do?

    For me it was a bit of both conscious and sub-conscious, for all my life I had to pretend I was someone else to a certain extent, then I chose to study performing arts in attempt to "come out of my shell", but what I was actually doing was constructing a better shell. And by better I mean one more suited to neurotypical society.
