Do folks think it's terribly selfish to want to be accepted exactly as you are - failings, foibles, wounds, scars and all? I'm uncertain.

@TinaHolmboe @ipedrazas BINGO! it's "mostly benign" I see myself using faces more over time to socially engineer situations. Do not like.
@TinaHolmboe @ipedrazas My personal concern is how, where, when, why I have started crossing that line. I do not want to make it a habit!
@TinaHolmboe @ipedrazas I do think it's normal, just not for me! I think I'm feeling uber defensive of late over an undetermined stressor.
@TinaHolmboe @smiffy that's hilarious, but what happens if most of your entities aren't fit for civilized company or work? #myLittleProblems
@TinaHolmboe @smiffy HA! I can't do it Tina. I just can't. I put on the mask but it will slip off, inevitable with me. I hate my own lies.
@TinaHolmboe @smiffy Tina, you know yourself and you protect yourself. I run toward, not away from fires. Both approaches have pros and cons
@mollydotcom some might say that makes me selfish, but honestly, I think that's more like not being a sociopath.

@mollydotcom that’s the only way of being accepted. What’s the point of accepting someone who pretends being someone else?

Don't most people wear masks @ipedrazas ? We need a defense against vulnerability. I'm doing it more than ever. I don't feel right about it.
