Social masks.

[The Austin]

If you don't know what a social mask is - it is a attitude/persona you put on in social situations you find uncomfortable.

I pull the "Loner"

I don't talk, I act like I'm that quiet kid who just keeps to himself.

In real life, I AM "The Chandler"

 

[IxionIndustries]

I, and another guy (Not gonna point fingers) are normally the scapegoats for all the shit that happens when we're in our "group".
I tend to be a sarcastic bastard, and the other guy acts like a complete psychopath.

I don't really pay attention to my personality that much..

 

[EeveeElectro]

The stupid, slow one who puts their hand on the oven to see if it's hot and burns water.

But I'm usually very quiet around some people.

 

[Kron_the_mad wants to be deleted]

too many to count

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I am me. That is all.

 

[Blackhol]

my whole personality is a social mask. people see what i want them to see.

 

[The Atomic Irishman]

Sometimes its just good to have them. Otherwise, you may run into said uncomfortable situations, and make things worse.

 

[Griphphin]

I pretty much act like myself, plus an added bit of confidence.

 

[KaiRai]

I'm quite a short tempered person, but in social situations, yeah, I'm the token funny guy. I've been told to become a comedian a few times, but I think my shows would descend into hate rants.

 

[GruntOwner]

Depends entirely on who I'm talking to... Then again, I don;t have to be uncomfortable for that to happen. Hell, when I feel uncomfortable I either stay awkwardly until someone breaks the tension, leave, or just throw up another, more decisive mask to break the tension. I'm pretty much a godless machavalian with the slight exception that I do give a damn about my word.

Heh. Worked for George Carlin.

 

[El Poncho]

Eh, well I think I act the same around people but maybe when I act one way around my friends I don't do it as much around other people.

[small] girls as an example [/small]

 

[bushwhacker2k]

Instead of it being a mask, I figure how I act in certain situations is just a different part of me.

Though I try to act naturally most of the time, so I can't really call anything specific to mind.

 

[KarumaK]

I'm a sociopath who wants to kill you and actively tries.

In reality I'm a sociopath who values not being in jail more than screams of torment.

 

[skullpile]

Quiet, mumbly guy who's sometimes perceived as intelligent. Because he didn't watch television growing up, but read instead. Out of necessity, mind. Not that he regrets it.

i learn lots from tv maby its because i watch the science channel

 

[Disaster Button]

I don't show a lot of deep emotion around friends, even close friends. I don't like to throw my emotions or problems around like paint. People have their own problems to deal with.

I also act a bit more eccentric with some people, usually people I don't know that well or don't want to know.

 

[DarkRyter]

I'm the fucking batman.

Always lightens the situation. For me, anyway.

 

[Parallel Streaks]

EVERYONE wants to be Chandler. Your other choices would be the greasy idiot, the stuffed-up nerd, the insane oddball, the neurotic ex-fatty, or the spoiled mother's girl. Chandler's the funny sarcastic one.

OT: I don't have a social mask, being openly gay does that to you, you learn to drop any acts you put on.
