Have You Ever Read This Poem!?
Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)
We Wear the Mask
WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties!.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs!?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask!.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise!.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!Www@Enter-QA@Com

yeah! i agree!.!.!.like i think everyone has somehow kept something from everyone [i know i have]
the proof are our secrets, ask anyone of they have a secret they dont want to tell anyone, and im sure they will have one
and also, the "mask" represents our lack of trust for people, when we truly trust, we will take off that mask!. but if someone cant trust anyone, they hide their true identities!.
wow im getting so deep!.!.!.
EDIT: oh! and also, when someone builds up lies and makes up who they are, that mask will anlways stay on!.
basically, we should be open to taking that mask off, not keep it on forever!. because if the mask is taken off, everyone will see our true selves, and if we have made it all up, then its ugly what we really are!. [im totally relating this to phantom of the opera xD]Www@Enter-QA@Com

Absolutely
I'm a pretty different person around friends and family than people I'm not comfortable around!.
But I think that it also makes it special for the people who really know you!.
With me it's like, you have to show me you're special enough before you get to see the whole person instead of someone peeking from behind a protective mask!.

We wear masks when faced with different people!.
A mask doesn't have to be any sort of fakery!. They can be what others may see us as!.
To our mothers and/or fathers, we wear the "daughter/son" mask!. We don't wear the same mask when we're with siblings or friends, so they don't see us as our parents do!. We switch our masks when we deal with different people!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

Around people we dont know, yes we hide our real selves!. some more than others!.
around people we trust we tend to let our guards down more!.
its a very in depth psychological question and has no easy answer!.
I can read people from their actions!. Given a bit of time its fairly easy(with some practice and insight) to tell what people are really like from the things they do!. Most are unaware of these motivators!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Not really!.
The mask may be who we are then!.
If everyone is going to keep saying, that is not truly you, then who are we really!?
Who I am is not a mask!. I am me ;)Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think different situations make us act differently,it`s not like we try to put a front or be someone you are not i think it`s just the situations, circumstances and environment!. Well that`s my opinion!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I always Try to be myself as much as I can
but the mask comes on the way

Yes that's correct, we all wear masks!.!.!. metaphorically speaking, we adapt the more socially acceptable personality!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I think we do try to hide behind masks until we feel a sense of security in order to be intimate with others!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I totally agree, i think that everyone hides behind some sort of mask, even if they seem perfectWww@Enter-QA@Com
It's more of a shield than a mask!. When you feel safe, you lower the shield!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
