How do people see you?

Trisha

Do people see the real you or the 'you' that's used when you're masking?

With me, my friends at school, teachers and family see the masked Trisha. To most people I'm funny, social, love going out, a bit adventurous, love to gossip with the girls in the loo...

But behind the mask people don't see the 'real' me who's shy, prefers to stay in, hates being social, just wants her own company and to hide away from the scary big world.

It's exhausting masking this much but I do because it's the only way I can function and get through each day.

Most people don't understand but it's good people here do.

  • Only my wife ever sees the real me, if we are out people think I’m very quick thinking and witty, the truth is I am just trying to be accepted, inside I would rather not even talk. I try to be sociable for my wife’s sake but as most of us know, there’s a price to be paid afterwards.
