Obviously there might be something’s we keep to ourselves. But as far as how you present yourself everyday to the world. I’d say…… 80%. I try to be nicer. But moments I just want to be br00tal instead XD.
I am in the high 80's. Be it on the internet or in person I'm me. When through a phase in life where I was sick of being the odd one out. So I started making changes to myself in order to gain more acceptance. Despite the acceptance I gained I hated how the changed made me feel. So I reversed the changed and went back to being one of the "weird kids" and have been a hell of a lot happier since. Though the parts people won't see right off the bat are defenses. So the amount I have locked away can increase due to several factors.
I dunno. Sometimes I like to play with personalities a bit when I feel like it. Not around the same people, but in changing scenarios. Is that fake? I don’t necessarily think so because it comes from me. I am a whole bunch of things and it’s hard to show it all with the same spectrum all the time.
I don't believe anyone can answer this accurately. We beings tend to be absolutely horrible at self-report. Especially with questions as ambiguous as this one.
Im just me if i feel something its real i csn see deeper than most people and its not 1 sided I weigh both sides I look at everything as a learning experience to be have more wisdom I am who I am I am who I choose to be by the things that I say I do it's easier that way because that way you're just on autopilot and things just happen because that's who you are if you have to pretend that you're somebody else then you must not like yourself I do like myself
what you see of me it's 100% real... however, you would see about and around 70% of what I really am and how I can be, as I do tend to be more reserved in general, but a lot way more open once we get to know each other, I'm a bit selective with people in all aspects
I'm like 90% what I actually am, what I'm missing is being more arrogant and way more freaky, this 10% will absolutely destroy the image people have of me lol
I think there is a lot more to being real than people realize. It is not just being nice to others, in fact a lot of fake people do that. Being real is being honest about who you are at all times. It doesn't matter if you are happy or sad or even angry most of the time. It is about being who you are and honestly accepting it and openly portraying it.
I don't know. I'm sort of a social chameleon type who had to adapt to various cultures and languages growing up. I've become very good at adapting to my immediate surroundings. But in exchange, I don't really know who I am.
I tend to change my behavior and even body language depending on where I am and who I'm talking to. For example, if I'm hanging out with gangsters and criminals, I'll talk and act in a very different way from when I'm hanging out at a very formal business party. And I'll change if I'm talking to Americans as opposed to when I'm talking to Japanese as another example. I'll also change depending on the language I'm speaking even down to the way I think about things.
But none of this feels like I'm betraying who I am. It just feels like I've developed many sides. I can't point to one and say that's the ultimate me any more than the other ones.
Yes, and the adaptation was sort of permanent. For example, I still learned English at an early enough age that I can now think in both English and Japanese. It's not like I have to translate from Japanese thoughts to English thoughts in my head. When I'm speaking or writing in English, as I am now, I am actually thinking in English.
So I can't say that side of me that thinks in English is any more or less me than now than Japanese. That's a blatant example but similar to all the various cultural norms and ideas of etiquette and fashion. It doesn't feel like I'm putting on a mask anymore. It did when I first came to new countries and had to learn things, but I adapted to the point where it seems as much a part of me now as all the previous.
But my life is weird. For example, as a boy, I was a top athlete and only an average student in my school. I think being half-white gave me a genetic advantage early on in Japan being taller and bigger than most kids. But when I went to the US much later on during high school, I found I wasn't nearly as good of an athlete there as I was in Japan. Meanwhile, I became a top student and so I graduated with 4.0 GPA and got a full scholarship and now I work as a computer scientist and software engineer.
But I started as the ultimate jock! So now I don't know if my true self is a jock or a nerd. The nerd side now feels as genuine as the jock side.
Cheers! I think I prefer to be considered more a jock than a nerd. I would favor that side, and I might argue that it's because I started that way before I was taken out of my environment unwillingly (my parents divorced and I went to the US with my mother later on). But maybe I'm just saying that because I think being a nerd is way uncool, and I want to be cool. :-D
They sometimes drive me crazy. Or maybe I should say "we"? What I find is that many of them are very gifted academically and in terms of puzzle-solving skills. But they can be a bit low on the EQ side of the spectrum, unable to relate so well to the feelings and emotions of others, and especially people who aren't quite like them and interested in very nerdy things. I tend to get along much better with designers and marketing types as a result than engineers even though I'm an engineer.
It depends on the situation, but in general I'd say that I'm pretty real. I'd say I'm more open and direct on the internet than in person. But I still try to not be offensive in most cases. I try to live by saying "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.", especially IRL.
