Am so I had time to preform all my rituals, including hair and make-up. To be honest i’d say I actually left ‘me’ in front of the mirror as the woman that would drive to work was no longer me. So why do we wear the mask? Just to be confident? To be beautiful? To be popular? I have to point out that in my case the make-up was only a small part of the mask. The mask is usually metaphorical. Now I can’t speak for everyone, but my reason was to hide me. It might sound strange, but I didn’t like me. I hat my feelings and personality in general.
We ve all told that one
I blam myself for the abuse i’d suffer for Business Development Directors Email List a long time. Why wasn’t I stronger? Why didn’t I scream? And why didn’t I phone the police? I hat myself for it so I pretend to be someone else. I was confident and funny, I’d speak to colleagues about big nights out I’d had the night before and how hung over I was. Break that down and really I’m just making an excuse not to have to talk to anyone. It also meant I didn’t have time to socialise. As soon as I finish work, I’d rush home to where I felt safe. Others will wear their masks differently.
White lie to be able to join
Some will become what I like to call ‘Tommy Toppers’. This basically means that whatever you have experienc, they’ve done it bigger and CL Lists better. If you climb Ben Nevis, they will have climb Mount Everest in a day with no oxygen or climbing equipment. I believe (please comment and tell me otherwise) that people do this to have common ground with individuals to enable a two-way conversation and feel accept.
