Question:
Ever exaggerated or hid an aspect of yourself in front of others? Or even when you're alone?
Why or why not?
I think honesty to oneself is important.
EDIT:
In social settings.
Formal + casual = ehh...
Unless you're always formal.
Answer:
Yes, because I act the same way around my friends.
And my friends are just brainless.
I'm a genius.
Answer:
Yes, How I can't speak properly around them. I mean they don't get it when I use english correctly. I have to speak slang in order for them to understand me. It's every frustrating.
Answer:
I can't say I'm 100% myself around everyone, around my sister I act alot happier and cheerful and alot stronger to keep her going. I guess thats not hiding who I am though, or is it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Answer:
hardly any of my friends know what's been going on with me. pretty much it's only my ex who knows what's going on... around my friends, i usually put up a smile and everything, but inside, it's like... totally the opposite. i don't even think i act 5O% of who i am in front of people..
Answer:
nope... hiding and exaggerate all the time ... till I can't even differentiate which is me... but yeah...
Answer:
being true to myself would mean admitting to a problem, which means i have to deal with it and i don't want to.
i hide stuff so i don't have to explain or pitied or to be looked down upon by people who would not understand regardless of my explanations unless they themselves are afflicted with the same problems.
Answer:
I try every once in a while to look at myself from other people's eyes. Do I treat others the way I expect others to treat me? Am I true to the belief system I expect others to follow? Do I share characteristics with anybody that I hate? Finally, if there discrepancies, is there a problem with the way I'm living, or my value system itself?
I think it's healthy to look in the mirror often and make sure that you are the person you want to be. If self-esteem is low one day and I feel worthless, then I work to change myself. What is it about myself that I hate?
In short, yes I'm honest to myself. That doesn't necessarily mean I reveal everything about me all the time. To me, that means I do my best to understand my strengths and weaknesses and choose to the best of my ability whether to ignore them or change. Most importantly, I make sure I am doing all the things I expect of others. I know it sounds super righteous but I think it's the best way to go. Works for me anyway.
Answer:
well.. I'm not ashame to hide my true self it's either they like me or they don't and i personally don't care if people hate me. Popularity isn't everything.
Answer:

Yeah me too. I sometimes don't even crack certain jokes around certain people because I know they won't understand it.. And with some friends I don't talk about certain things and one time I tried to bring it up but they just look at me weirdly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
