Closset personality

[den1]

Easy all, I started talking about this as I got more and more into another thread and thought maybe it should be a thread of its own.

Does any1 else have a sort of wacky, childlike personality that only comes out while at home or in the presence of people you feel absolutly comfortable with?

I have this crazy outgoing fun and playful side to me/or it might actualy be me? that only comes out while at home or with friends who I've known for years.

I feel like this part of me would NEVER be accepted in social situations and people would think I am really wierd.

I distance myself as far as possible from this side of me while in the company of cirtain "types" of people(eg-Hard street like council estate raised people) by acting alot more "street" than I actually am.

This makes me feel like a "faker" and like I have sold my soul to conform to other people. This results in people not seeing the "real" me, but I feel the real me would get chewed up and spat out in the world we live in 2day.

absouloutly mate i feel that way to and i can only be myself round a few people,and im afraid in time those people will be gone and ill never be able to be who i truly am,even with the people i know ill be diffent on different days cause of my anxiety, which leaves me with little confidence cause i feel i dont know who i really am

oh yea I feel the exact same.....I'm a totally different person around my family....I love that person.....to me, that's the real me for sure.....and I wish I could be like that all the time....and sometimes I have little glimmers here and there where I feel natural and my true personality comes out but most of the time I just drift back into my shell. I think its possible tho...I'm getting there i think....just gotta keep facing fears and changing my perspectives of things.....but, ah man, it'd be so good to just be able to be "me" around anybody, totally fearless and unashamed....one day!!!

Yes, I'm only my actual self sometimes, really only online and with my two nieces, just about everyone else gets my shell-self, in varying degrees. In don't even have a different personality exactly, I just close up more and reveal less, around people I'm less comfortable with.

Even my mum only sees part of me. I can't totally open up to her. I don't even know why, exactly, it's not anxiety, I just can't do it.. :?

I'm very much the same. It's either crazily shy or crazily wacky. And I really feel that none of these behaviours of mine would be (or is) accepted. None actually functions or enables me to connect with others and reaveal my self. You have to find ballance (and now that's a big deal).

Two weeks ago I went to a trip with my class. It was that kind of a trip where almost everybody gets slightly drunk. I didn't drink at all, still, I felt nice and relaxed, and after a while I happened to let the crazy child out. I danced, sung and talked, talked, talked (along with some of my classmates). And it was, you know, it was okay. I behaved weirdly, but not too differently, as everybody around was drunk. :lol: I don't know if that's funny or sad or what. It's definitely strange and scary. Is my real personality identical to a drunk seventeen-year-old? (Oh, Jesus.)

Hope I'll find out what is fake and what's real. Soon. And hope you all will manage that, too. Good luck to everyone. :wink:

Yup, I know exactly what you mean. Usually people only see the overly serious, sarcastic, cold version of me, but if I'm comfortable with someone and not in a situation where I'm required to be serious I usually act kinda crazy and immature (I'm not actually sure if that's a good thing, but at least it's me).

I think that MOST people are like this, it's just human nature...we all have people we feel more relaxed around than others, and therefore feel more able to let our guard down.

People clsoe to me say i am wacky, cheeky, funny and weird (in the good way). But to co workers i am serious and formal, stilted conversationalist and shy.

I can really relate to that :lol: talk about "split personality lol

Yusss, at home and with certain friends *especially outside of school*, I'm pretty much insane.. in a good way
I don't know what it is, but i think its the lack of people where i can truly be who i really is.

 

[InDeepshit]

nope i'm almost always apathetic no matter what situation. i don't have a hidden interesting personality !! :: but when i'm in a rare good mood i'm chirpy and expressive.
Urrrgh. i once went to a mind body spirit festival and had a face reading taken... after talking to me she said that i had a very soft personality. then she went on about how i should shape my eyebrows haha.
