In real life up until quite recently I felt that I had to put on an act, to a greater or lesser degree. I just wasn’t comfortable with being myself.

I don’t try to put on an act. I might just be more polite. I have a very hard time being myself around some people.

I try to be myself on this forum and sometimes with my sister. But I feel like I’m having to put on an act most of the time. Besides my SzA it’s also my sexual orientation, though I’ve decided not to talk about it lately. If I have to I say I’m asexual now, mainly to avoid people fixing me up with men/women.

You always have to put on an act for certain people,

But about 90% of the time,

I’m just myself.

What’s putting an act?

Not being yourself. Acting in a way to please others.

I am myself most of the time.
I may put on an act in front of certain people at times.

I don’t know who I am anymore… I just try to be good to people, because I know what it is like when ppl are mean or hurtful…
