Do you feel like you have to put up an act around some 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

[Vause]

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.

[wixard]

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.

i wouldn't say i put up an act, it's more of just having to put up with speaking to people i don't necessarily like. i find that i have to do that quite a lot of the time during school, and hopefully now i've left i won't have to do it as much (until college i guess). i prefer having a small group of friends in oppose to having a large group. i feel like i can speak to any one of my friends, without putting up an act.

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
