I know exactly what you mean and I think to be honest it's a bit like a shell. The people you love and trust you show them the real you but people you don't know so well see you differently.

That's an interesting thought though. :think:
The idea of masks could be more with the fact that we have different things that we want certain people to see. Like, my close friends & family can see my raw essence of who I am, whereas at work they only know me as the bright happy girl.
These masks can be used as defense, to protect us from hurt, betrayal etc too. I really like this and how you've just actually thought this over.
I mean, looking at what some people view me as I am rather shocked, because I know that is only one fraction of who I am as an individual.
I'll shut up now. >.<
