With that same ol' Lazy Eye

So, do you think we're ever really ourselves? That we ever truly portray who we are to others? Or is our super ego so constricted by societal pressures and the knowledge of our audience's (whether that be another person or out in public) opinions on certain subjects or behaviors that we are incapacitated

Hey! I love you! I'm happy I'm moved in now. =) Today I will be getting the rest of my crap out of the living room. ;)

My parents want to buy me a housewarming gift. Do we have pots and pans? Because they totally offered to buy us a set. They also want to buy me curtains for my room. My dad was overly concerned about people being able to see in my window. Haha.

I ate one of those muffins this morning! Mmmmm. So good.

Sorry for not really being home last night. But I will totally be around tonight so hopefully you will be too! =)

Oh and btw. I know what you mean about the whole being different depending on the person you're with or the situation or where you're at. I've noticed it in myself. Not that I'm drastically different around different people. But, I mean, people can have a strong affect on our moods/feelings so I think it's pretty natural. I think if you're around a happy person you're more likely to feel happy. Does this make sense? I'm tired. Haha.

I thought you weren't going to school anymore?

I think I actually have an opinion about your main subject there. Everybody acts differently according to the audience or the people they're with... the people who don't are the ones who have no social skills. But I think that doesn't change who you are. You subtly alter what aspects of your personality come out according to the people you're around, but it's still your personality. Ok, on second thought, that applies to most people, but there are those chameleons who have no personality of their own. But nobody likes them anyway.

Well true social chameleons don't imitate but rather adapt to portray what will best suit the current social situation as dictated by their goals for it. It's manipulation.

But i know what you're saying, no one likes a sycophant. Not for very long anyway.

I just feel like, it's weird that I can make jokes about AIDS and rabid ass-monkies to some people but not to others.

It makes sense why I do it or rather don't do it. It's just strange how different it makes me seem in those situations. If you ask two of my friends from different social circles to describe me, you'd probably get very different descriptions. I suppose the core might be the same though and maybe that's all that matters.

yeah i still read this shit

I think it's possible to really be yourself, you just have to be in a relationship in which you truly trust the other person, and that kind of trust is incredibly rare.

And besides, if every relationship wasn't just a bit different, we'd probably be happy with just one, right?
