How often do you mask your true feelings to the point that you even fooled yourself into believing you don't

Question

care about something or someone?

Answer 1

Quite a lot I guess - the divide between the daylight and the night is quite pronounced in me, I think, between what I think I believe and what, in the deepest part of me, I truly believe, is quite profound, and can be prodded into moments of almost schizophrenic self-doubt and self-analysis. If you can't find a balance between the two, it can drive you stark raving mad, but sometimes, you just have to admit that you're not sure who you are, and shrug, and go on with it anyway...

Sucks, as advice goes, I know, but about as close to an objective truth as I can come.

Answer 2

I'm trying to do that right now to help get over a particularly painful recent relationship. And you're not making it any easier by asking insighful, intelligent questions like this that force me to confront reality! :)

Answer 3

I've done that many times... with an ex-boyfriend, and an ex-best friend... but when I look deep inside, I truly do care. But hey, it helps sometimes... =(

Answer 4

alot, well i used to do it alot more, but now i try to keep it real at all times, with others and with myself. but i have to admit it's a hard habit to break. it's called a defense mechanism

Answer 5

All the time. I say I don't neeeeeeeeeeeed him and my friends roll their eyes.

Answer 6

I don't, I say how I feel when I feel like it to who I feel like saying it to...
