Oh, reading Joseph Campbell, nice idea, wiretwister. It certainly shows the universality of masks.

I've related to a bunch of stuff you've said, Naynay. A quote (from a show I'm obsessed with ) came to mind...

How do I take off a mask when it stops being a mask? When it's as much a part of me as me?

Elliot

True, right?! I mean, pretty much everyone wears a mask of one sort or another. But we (as BPers and other mental health issues) do have more of a time with it. But we're in this together. Things you say resonate. I don't really even see negativity to worry about. You're just talking about something real that others relate to.
