In a more general fashion, we all wear masks to an extent and show parts of ourselves depending on how well we know the people we're with. I'm much quieter with people I don't know, than those I feel I can be more myself with. sissy Rosie, That is not a mask, that's part of your personality. I think they're referring to "autistic masking", where a person on the spectrum will hide (either consciously or subconsciously) their autistic traits from others so they appear neurotypical. It's more of a survival skill/adaptation to avoid harm than it is a personality trait. Aradial (auto correct wanted to make your name Radical, 🤣) I understood sissie Rosie on that part. I see that I was not clear on my point. When they are quiet with new people is the part that I believe is their personality. Thoughts? @sissie Rosie Your thoughts? |

This should serious here. If you can’t turn down the mask after this long? Well, Mental Destroyer, continuing to hid behind his mask.
There should be a problem still here, anyway, then it won’t become nothing else. Oh, you must keep believing Yourself is ‘number one’. |
