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.

  • Well maybe I never did manage to create a particularly good mask. My roommate told me in my first year at uni told me the 0thers all thought I was the strangest person they had ever met. Well, cheers!!

    Positively I have been called self sufficient, independent, but rather cool and aloof too. And eccentric. Maybe a bit naive about things and a tendency to fly off rhe handle. It seens I don't always respond to other people in ways tbey might hope for. Looking for group social acceprance usually lies in failure so I don't bother any more, it ends in tears. I've been calked selfish too butvI do't go out of my way to actively hurt other people to get what I want.
