        I am only myself with my girlfriend, everybody else gets a different tomm, sometimes that can suck.

                it is indeed, makes me actually wonder how different i really am around different people.

                always a sigh of relief when im round my girlfriend though, feels like i can relax and calm down … not being yourself can be hard work.

                although i must say, in sensitive moments around friends i retract and become myself. interesting.

                    I am myself around most people, well sometimes i tone myself down when i first meet people as i really dont want to scare them.

                    If people dont like who i am screw them, its not them that i want to keep happy its myself………….

                                I don’t think I’m 100% myself around any other people..

                                Right now it’s very difficult for me to be myself in front of my own family

                                I trust a few people enough to show them 99% of the real me..

                                I think I’m really only myself when I’m alone

                                    I used to be what Angel is describing. In those days I was coming to terms with serious life shit and new restrictions on my life/health.

                                    Nowadays you meet me as I am though I am still intensely private. I am always the person I want to be in a particular situation [sometimes work enviroments require masks to get round people’s preconceptions] and I am more open with people than I used to be. TBH like SL I tone down who I am for people I dont know – not so much pretending to be something else as not being in their face about it.

                                    I do have very close personal friends with whom there are no pretenses required to oil the social machinery [these are very few and far between but priceless people who are able to deal with me unadultarated and uncensored] I am lucky – my partner is one of these people and I dont know how I would get through a day without them :love:

                                        I’d say I’m myself around my girlfriend, brother and close friends (Titch being one of them). Around others I usually slip in to another personality to suit theirs. It’s not really a conscious thing, I sometimes don’t realise I’m doing it and then notice it later. My voice even changes sometimes.

                                        Essentially it’s me but with a few tweaks. I can’t help it. Obviously there are some people you can immediately make your mind up on and you will hold back parts of your personality to not offend.

                                        I don’t really think it’s a case of being real, devious, or not true to yourself I just think it’s often an essential skill that you develop to make life easier and get by. I think it’s pretty rare that people act themselves with everyone.

                                                    had to think about this

                                                    i am always 100% myself

                                                    i am me at work, me with friends an family, me when i’m nervous (meeting new people or in a challenging situation), me when i’m being crappy and me when i’m on form

                                                    in certain situations i’m great, in others i might be awful but its always all me

                                                    make sense?
