Sometimes I think we have to hide ourselves under a fa\u00e7ade. Maybe this is at work, or with people we don&#8217;t know. Maybe it&#8217;s just to be friendly and get to the point. Maybe we don&#8217;t always have to 100% be ourselves 24\/7. It can be exhausting to express ourselves fully all the time. Sometimes we just don&#8217;t want to get into an argument. Sometimes we don&#8217;t want to show who we are exactly for fear of rejection. It feels impossible to always be ourselves.
