Is it true that everyone is private, to a certain extent and that few people truly know them?

[HappyWoman34]

Like the song The Stranger, by Billy Joel, talking about people wearing different masks in different social situations?

[Summerlazing]

I think people only let you see what they want you to see, plus we’re just really bad at reading people! A really interesting read “Talking to Strangers” by Malcolm Gladwell goes into this.

[ApplePie409]

Of course it's true. I would never tell strangers I voted for Trump. I don't want a shank in my gut.

Every person has a private side as they get deeper into a relationship they may decide to share more of that side with their partner.

[Daniela1982]

The problem is that people want to get together for sex and don't even take the time to know anyone. I bet that after sex they don't even remember the person's name.

[DrPepper12]

Yes. No person is fully knowable, even to oneself as not every crisis of choices will occur to that individual.

[DrPepper12]

TY for MHO I think Billy Joel s the stranger song is VERY revealing of the human condition

[Daniela1982]

Well, the people on G@G sure are. But most of them are fake anyways so who knows?

[BA4NkdAdv]

I believe everyone has a private side. It's up to the person as to what and when they will share. Now a person who is defensive and unwilling to open up some has more than just a private side.

[BA4NkdAdv]

Would you mind if I started following you I'm new on here I just joined today.

[katiesmuff]

I think there is some truth to this!

[Jennz6]

Yes you’re correct

[Anonymous]

Yes, at lest until they get to know each other.

[eagle1951]

yeah
