I've noticed that I seem to be completely different around different people. Around my sister - like a submissive sibling who she continues to try to snuff out. Around my Mom - like the most unlikeable person on earth. Around my therapist - like an unchangeable pathetic disaster. Around my BF - like an actress playing the part required. Around friends who have 'immunity' to my changeable states of mind - they see all of me- the good and the bad. Around friends who I suspect cannot tolerate my moods - once again- the actress, showing only the best side. Around work colleagues - a confident success story.
I really have no idea which one of these people is truly 'me'. It's quite exhausting. Does anybody else here relate to this?
