And if so, why?
I'm generally intrigued. I personally don't like putting up an act around people or trying to be fake/someone I'm not to impress people.

I am usually a bit standoffish when I first meet people because I don't know how much they would take offence to some of the things I'd say to my close friends. Apart from that, I don't really put up an act...
I don't like a couple of my family members but I generally be nice since it would cause some tension and maybe some problems.
When I normally meet people i'm quiet, not sure why. It's not an act its as if i don't know what to say to them as I do not know anything about them. But then the more i speak / see them the more chatty i become
I don't think that's putting up an act as its not intentional, a lot of people are like that :)Quote:

All the time lol. I tend to act differently around almost everyone :L (including people who I greatly dislike).
I act differently around people who I don't like (but then I think everybody does).
I also act differently around my parents. They just wouldn't understand the way I really am and would probably ground me for a century if I said some of the stuff I say around my friends to them!
All the time. In real life I find myself being the complete opposite of who I am and I hate it. I can't tell any of my friends that I'm so upset and that I don't feel like they treat me well, so I just cover it all up and act like I'm really happy. :P My best friend is the only person that actually knows about how sad I am, and even at times I have to act with her because I really don't want to bring her down. With family I have to smile all the time and lie about how good school is going, kinda sucks as I have no one in real life to talk to about how I feel, and bottling my feelings up really hasn't helped me out.
When I try to become friends with someone I try acting 'normal' and then if I eventually feel comfortable with being myself (usually this would be online and I don't look for friends irl and yeah, i'm not myself) then I'll allow them to know the real me.
I tend to act more masculine around family because they're nice and all but not exactly modern and still have the whole "MEN SHOULD BE MEN" type opinion. Usually though I'm pretty free to be me... probably because most of my time is spent online rather than actually with people...
First time I meet someone im not exactly confident because I dont know what to say but when i get to know them i start to become more confident. Im not a confident person but I be myself i dont care what others think. I'm over that stage now so Im just myself. But I am quiet most of the time unless im great friends im loud lol. Im confusing o.e
not really, i'm just loud in general and once i get talking i can't shut up. sure i'm shy around certain people, but who isn't? my family are used to my outgoing personality. i go through phases though.
Depends who I'm with/speaking to, I guess we all have the inate ability to adapt to different types of people and their personalities, it's not like I'm not being me they're just different ways of conveying myself.
i tend to act more polite when i meet my cousins and friends. but im a completely different person when im at home, loud and vulgar.
my family genuinely call me 'the evil one'
friends find me alright but a bit ******
people i don't know too well think im 'really sweet'
and my customers know that i won't be a fake ***** and that I stand by MY rule in that the customer is usually most of the time wrong.
im different around different situations/people yes
but only slight changes or bluntness
I would say I'm more formal around people I don't know but that's not really an 'act' as it's something I naturally do.
i kinda cover up my problems infront of most people, i just act like i'm happy all the time haha. i don't really like talking about feelings so yeah
I do this too actually. I just realised. I hate talking about feelings and it usually just makes it a million times worse anyway. Especially when you tell someone how you feel and then they look at you like you're emotionally unstable for the rest of your life.Quote:

um to most people at school they think i'm some absolute ***** that obsesses over a guy because i genuinely don't think anyone would understand if i were to really tell people exactly how i feel about everything and it does upset me i don't know anyone in real life that does get the 'actual' me but meh, i'm used to it. i'm also a closet nerd, i get everything to an extent that i get taught at school and when teachers ask questions and i know the answer but no one else does i won't bother because i end up showing myself up and it's humiliating to be the **** that knows it all
i used to but now i honestly don't care what people think of me. if somebody can't like me for who i am then that's their loss
