Do you think you really know a person?
I really struggle in this area. I feel like I'm hard to get to know and I never know how much of myself to reveal.

no one really knows me yk hell I don't know myself lmao jk but you get the point. People might know some things but they can't really know me fully ifykwim. There's this Japanese saying that you have 3 faces: the first face you show to the world, the second face you show to your close friends and your family and the third face you never show anyone and it is the 'truest reflection of who you are'
I like it. That's pretty much how I feel.
That reminds me of lyrics to A Billy Joel song The Stranger:
"Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out
And show ourselves
When everyone has gone
Some are satin some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They're the faces of the stranger
But we love to try them on"
We only know what someone is willing to share. Most people keep real feelings to themselves, if they do share they are watered down. So it depends on the person.
I over-share with people I’m close to irl. People complain when I stop talking. They know something is up.
@AndrésC64 There is nothing wrong with that.
Thanks for mhg

I don't think anyone can "truly" know someone...
@Brainsbeforebeauty i know that you have a spongy forehead and the queen of naughty board games 😁
@TonyMetal___86 see, you'd be wrong.. I'm an innocent old fragile gramaw😇😁🤣
These games can be passed on kids and not an old man like me sponge 😁
How can a 50 year old lady looks like she's my younger sister while she must be as my older sister, it's because sponges never ages 😬😬
@TonyMetal___86 or you need glasses, or cataract's surgery lolol
To be able to see that the spongy forehead is bigger than i see it now 🧐
Happy eyyyy sponge cause no one is noticing how much you're spongy forehead is growing bigger 💆🏼♀️
@TonyMetal___86 too bad your "head" isn't growing 'bigger"😜😁🤣
Yep it ain't cause it ain't spongy like yours 😁
@TonyMetal___86 so you "think"🤣
Nope so i SEE the sponge, see the unseen 😁
yes, a few...
but these are my very best friends, that I've known for 12, 16 and even 20 years time
we have grown up together, we gone through things, and shared many and plenty of moments, and we have gotten to know each other in many different kinds and types of situations so yes... it is that familiarity with one another that just developed through the years
also, I am not one to have secrets or to keep things to myself, not with the ones I am really close... I'm open and welcoming and so are they with me and their things, themselves
and there is one very important thing that I've always had with my friends... we have been free and comfortable and have that trust to just be ourselves and that's how you really get to know a person for who they really are, genuinely
that's the one way I found to survive... didn't come so easily for sure, and not without a price, but that's life, I guess...
There's a couple people that probably do, the ones I've been friends with for a good while or the ones I've opened up to. A lot of people don't though and I'm fine with that. I keep my circles small. For me it only takes a handful of people to be happy in life
Just like what brainsbeforebeauty said, no one really knows the full depth of someone.
I have a part of me hidden from everyone I know and love and I don't think I'll show it.
I think my younger sister does. She's the only person who can read me.
I feel like my partner and my best friend know who I really am. They’re the only people that I’ve truly shared every aspect of my life with
I feel like i have a general idea of you just from online :P
🖤🖤🖤
<3 <3
@Still-alive I'm not sure how to take that. 😄😄
lol just good friends on here
Yeah maybe just one or a few like my mom and/or one of my cousins.
Just a few. People who have always been in my life and we grew up together.
my relatives know me now it took like 8 years to get to know me because I am a private person
Yeah probably.
Nope :3
