Social masks.

[zaro27]

I'm a bad person. I'm a giant douche, always making fun of everyone and everything else. Everyone around me is just a straight man for my cynical and snarky comments. I drip vitriol out of my flamethrower-mouth. I'll tell jokes that are vile and obscene...and everyone laughs. I express hatred for pretty much everyone and everything and everyone laughs. I'm the despicable little life of the party. I should get my ass kicked on a daily basis, but instead everyone laughs like I'm some kinda comedian.

But deep down I'm really a nice guy, honest!

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

If you have one - what is it?

Personally mine is the chandler (friends), I'm the group punching bag and I'm the stereotypical funny guy who doesn't get a girlfriend until season 7.

Although when on the internet I'm well... this. pretty articulate, wanting to have meaningful conversation and such.

This is probably my age group - being a student If I bring up politics or religion my peers will either think I'm joking or yawn.

What's yours?

I'd say mine is the same as yours, only with the more extreme of being adored more by people, but at the same time at home I think deeply about the world, religion, universe, life, my life, where I'm heading as well as many "what if"s which I cannot answer.

At times I really should stop thinking about those things since they can become quite depressing, you know?

I absolutely despise masks.

I just realized you despise masks, but have Majora's Mask as an avatar, and part of your username. Also, Persona, relating to a Social Mask, a different persona you adopt depending on the situation.

Excellent, someone explained the joke.

/facepalm

Aw man, and here I thought I was the witty one who noticed it.

Oh well, someday...

I'm never myself to anyone so i guess i have alot of masks. I just don't trust anyone including myself enough to be me around them.

My Mask: "normal" person (What ever someone wants to see)
Its on pretty much all the time, even in front of friends ans family

Real me: too hard to explain
