That said, several other posters pointed out that we all to a degree have images we wish to uphold in public. I agree. But I sense from the OP that the scenario of 'image' was not about wearing a more confident persona, etc. I just assumed they were encountering someone extremely shallow and fake.
Yes this is the case in the scenario I gave. Although yes the other posters have a point and to a degree are right, I feel like the person I was with was being more shallow and fake. Yes her reasons for doing so were probably to prevent judgements and be accepted, but in the long run it backfired.
