why are we so tempted to pretend to be someone else?i met a lot of people who pretended to be different..who pretended to be better than the others but who were even worse... do you think that we should act onhe way just to impress even if that isn't who we really are?

No I don't think we should, but I think a whole lot of us do. I think we know, deep down inside what we are really like. And we know that if others knew it right away, they wouldn't want to get to know the good side of us. So, of course we lie, we act, and put on the face of someone else. Anything to get and keep someone else interested long enough for them to pause before running away when the bad side comes out. Pause to think... "yeah, but he's also..." or "yeah, but she is soooooo...." We can't usually even admit to ourselves, much less the rest of the world that we, as humans do this, but if you take a close look, you might find that in some ways you do it too. You might not mean to, might not even realize that you do. But, most people do. And I also think that a huge amount of people who do this, do it with the intention of telling the truth later, but just never get around to telling it. You know the line..." I was gonna tell you, I swear!" Yeah, right. Sure.. you were. In 6 months, right? LOL So, I thnk we do this to make ourselves more attractive to the opposite sex, more appealing. More available. More of whatever we think the other one is looking for. It's just a shame that we don't think enough of ourselves to just be honest, and say "No, I don't make a gadzillion dollars a year, and I don't drive the gold plated jaguar, but I am a nice guy/girl, and I'll treat you nicely if you would like to go out and have some fun with me" Now, wouldn't that be simpler? Yeah, but.. oh, would that it were how things are..huh?

I for my part think that "Haven't Met You Yet" by way of Michael Buble and "Love Song" by way of Sara Barallies have the precise equal track, I love them each, however I SWEAR, they sound close to precisely the equal. BQ3: Funny you requested, I've inspiration that for so long as I can take into account and by no means gotten an reply.

A huge majority of people pretend to be something they are not. They are trying to fit the mode, be more appealing, fear of judgement, or just wanting to be anyone but who they are. For some its easy to weed out the fakers...for some it could be devasting.

well that is essayer way for living. the world is stage. some times we are up on stage,some times we are down. hide is the best way to not be hurt.I personally do not believe in that. So even when i need to defend my self i do not do it if i so that the other side just want to break me to get what it wants. from TOLSTOY: if you want to fit in a group of people you should be as they are.if you stay your way because you know that is relay good,they would not want you. because you are not staying on the same stair

A secure person doesn't need wealth, or power, just his confidence. One has nothing to do with the other. The kind of people you are talking about are insecure about themselves, and being pretentious is their ego booster.

people say those thing because maybe those were the things they wanted to be but never achived ,or they want acceptance from others and they think the only way they will be liked is if they lie unless these people are part of your legacy in life and pay your bill you dont need to inpress them.

being who you are is the best thing, it is not always the easiest thing, but the best. When people are not themselves when they are building relationships, they put on a false face. This mask has to come off sometimes, it could ruin the relationship they were trying to build.

They don't like themselves so they have to pretend to be who they are not.
