Have you ever experienced hiding your true self? Why?
Answer (2)
Yes, many people—including me experience some form of hiding their true self. Sometimes it happens because of fear of rejection or judgment. For example, someone may hide their real feelings, opinions, or even talents because they worry others might laugh at them, criticize them, or fail to accept them.
Yes, I’ve experienced hiding my true self before. Sometimes, I felt like people wouldn’t understand me or might judge me if I showed who I really was—especially when I had different opinions or interests from others. I didn’t want to be left out or seen as “weird,” so I just went along with what everyone else liked or expected. But over time, I realized that pretending to be someone else only made me feel more distant from people, even if I was surrounded by them. Being true to yourself might feel scary at first, but it’s also the only way to build real connections and feel free. I’m still learning to be more confident and honest about who I am, little by little[tex].[/tex]
