I would say I have different versions of myself. I have different personalities depending on what sort of group of people I'm with. I have a approachable face so I speak to new people all the time so I guess I adapt depending on what they need. |

Depends on the person and situation. With fab I keep my personal life away from it apart from with my Dom. Not so much being a different person just not fully opening myself to everyone. |

"What does it mean to be yourself? Do you have different versions of yourself?"
I have 2 versions of me. But then you would probably have already worked that out! |

I've always had different masks for myself. They're all me but I play up or down different aspects depending on the context. (Sexy in a club, leave me alone bitch in the weights room, gregarious and open in community volunteer work)
I've worked out that I need to focus more on different versions of myself for different people, not just contexts. |

"I sometimes change my attitude depending on what I'm doing or who I'm with, but it's still me.
If that's a good thing. Lol
It's all those different services you provide"
And if I can get a taxi.  |

Absolutely have different versions, work mode is completely different to hanging with mates then different again when I’m with my kids...
They are all me, just faceted in a way which reflects that environment at the time.

I have several masks depending on the situation. And they are all me to a certain extent. But it's important not to hide behind one mask for too long, for example the I am fine mask when you are upset. |

hiding from cock pics. |
In different situations I guess I feel slightly different, but all of that is me, whether I'm feeling shy or more confident, chatty or more quiet, I really don't know how to not be exactly as I am. |

I would say on here it means not giving a false representation of yourself to get meets. In life it means not letting other's thoughts or actions change your morals or self belief |

There's no point in me telling lies cos my memory is shot to fuck. If I bullshit someone I'll forget what I've said and end up getting busted. The truth is the only thing I've got any hope of remembering so I stick to that  |

I have two versions of myself.
The mediocre quiet one that goes to work in drab & steel toes caps to earn enough to feed the kids & pay the mortgage.
Then there is the glam version that appears on cam in chat every so often. Prettier, naughtier, more confident & wannabe dancer.
That's being the real me. The one I'm too scared to show in real life but who screams to get out. |

I'm a Gemini so I have differnt sides lol I try to keep them all in a positive frame of mind but this isn't always the case. All of them are me though and I'm happy being myself on the whole  |

Being myself is easy. Getting people used to the fact is slightly less so. I'm a loud, brash knobhead and I'm at peace with that. However I do have a caring, lovely side that is easily teased out when I'm in good company. |

There and to the left a bit |
I'm me, plain and simple, what you see is what you get, no heirs, no Grace's, no pretence, take me or leave me.
I may keep certain facets hidden according to situation and circumstance but me the person is the same regardless |

Yes and no.
Im always myself in the sense that I don't put on heirs and graces or pretend to be someone I'm not.
However I behave slightly differently depending on the situation I find myself in. So at work I'm far more formal than at home or with family/friends.
When at home with Ash I let go completely and I'm the totally natural form of myself. |

What a vague question and what vague answers.
Lad above bragging about being an unashamed arsehole has the most clarity.
What is it to be myself? No idea. I mean, that's all anyone can be right? You can't be someone else unless you're living a lie but then by acknowledging that, you'd have blow your cover, so you're back to yourself. |

"What does it mean to be yourself? Do you have different versions of yourself?"
Dont we all?
Wife, mother, daughter, or Father, Son and Husband?
Colleague to some, Boss to another?
Friends? Lovers? So many different people!
But the essence remains the same. |

But aren't they all aspect of the whole of you rather than other versions? You're a four dimensional entity that different people have a different perspective on. |

Depends on the crossover, or whether you compartmentalise. |

"I have many faces that I present to the world. All of them are me and not me.
I have those faces but they are not my true Self."
If they have come from you, they must be you though. |

Whoever you are talking too, interacting with. Still seeing a 'you' that you have chosen as most suitable to show at that time?
I may need the question rephrased or suffer brain melt  |

I don't even know who I am anymore. There is only one person who knows my real me with everyone else I just feel like a weirdo and never fit anywhere and feel awkward most of the time no matter what I do or say |

I can't be anyone but me. I'm complicated a mixture of happy sad loving dismissive trusting guarded open cynical honest and less so, able to present a me to the world that can be professional or an idiot and everything else in between to allow me to navigate life.
Yet that real me, it doesn't change much my values are in part fixed yet can bend to reflect those things that I learn. I present as circumstances dictate. Those circumstances just form multiple parts of our human interaction and acting appropriately to the social or other situations we find yourself in.
The "real" me, I probably even hide on here much of the time behind a wall of self deprecation and banal humor and yet I hope never intentionally hurting another by my words and actions even though I know I can do from time to time.
It's not easy to define ourselves in a few words, human, I hope, far more caring than I would ever openly admit, loyal, sometimes strong and self contained, other times way to vulnerable, especially with those I love, aware that i can be good or bad and everything in between.
A little bit broken, aware that others can hurt too. Sometimes the real me my emotions are all too apparent, other times I hide behind walls of my own creation for self protection, so that I protect myself from hurt. Although that doesnt work much of the time.
Far from perfect yet content in my own skin, most of the time.
I'm nothing special, just a man trying to live hopefully the best way I know how sometimes failing me sometimes failing others, and like love when I fail it's only if I just quit that I let myself and others down.
I really don't like self reflection much, it makes me face my frailties and frustrations.....

I'll always be myself, no matter the company or environment, but through life, I will adapt and try to be a better person tomorrow than the one I was yesterday and continue to treat others with kindness and respect |
