what do your usually HIDE but keeps on SHOWING?

Question

:-)

Answer 1

My sense of humour, I prefer when it takes a while for people to catch on, they savour it more. Too often I'm clumsy and subtle as a Mack truck.

Answer 2

What? Is that darned little horn peeking through my hair line again?

Uhhh, ok, I'll get serious alright?...here are my actual 'tugs-of-war':

It is important for me to be judged on my intellect but others are often deterred from finding or thinking there is a deeper layer than a pretty face. So, I usually come off intellectually strong and intimidating which, well, really doesn't hide anything for long and actually shows the close observer that I am trying to hide *something*.

I am also not that confident (in certain respects) and regardless of my feigned strength, my lack of confidence shines through in particular situations. I wish I could appear inpenetrable in every situation where my vulnerability is at risk of being manipulated or debased by others. But, that doesn't always happen.

I often hide the real me in situations where others can take advantage of all that doesn't fit with a certain stereotype or in formal circumstances. I hide my fear of being misunderstood or not socially accepted for everything I am through a sometimes veiled attitude of apathy and confidence. I can never really convince myself to be and feel a certain way I do not for very long so sometimes I do end up feeling uncomfortable, misunderstood and socially out of place...which probably shows.

Thanx Enki! Now you know all my secrets :-). And ya know, I don't think I've really said any of this out loud to anyone in life...not sure why. Probably 'cuz no one cares to know. Boooo-hooo :-(. Just kidding :-).

Answer 3

My thoughts and feelings....

I am sometimes too expressive for my own good. I say what I think and this could hurt people at times. Even when I don't mean to. I know I need to master a huge amount of self-control and learn to be a little more tactful.

I hate that feeling of regret when I see people recoil in hurt when I let my mouth get ahead of my brains. Apology then would be too late because you just can't take back words that had already fallen to inflict the wound.

I am pleased to tell you however, that I am slowly getting a little better in controlling myself, in the things i say. I learn this handy trick of counting to ten before responding whenever I feel the head of my own internal Hydra creeping up towards the surface.

So to rephrase my answer, the thing that I try to hide but keeps on rearing its ugly head(s) is that hated, hurtful Hydra in my mind...

Answer 4

Dearie, I have a "bum" leg that I try to keep covered/hid from the world. There is nothing I can do to correct it and will have it the rest of my life. Yet, I simply CANNOT get past my pride of how it looks. I realize it looks worse to me than to anyone else, but my pride keeps me from just ignoring the stares that come with showing it.

Answer 5

Fragile emotions! How I carry on in hiding them in vain. I thought that I am an imperceptible person but I found out the people can transparent me.

Answer 6

When Im totally peopled out, and need to be alone...I start getting unusually quiet, irritable, and emotionally exhausted after too much socializing...like when I went to Europe last Summer with school... 40 teenagers together for 3 weeks... talk about DRAMA... omigoodness I have never felt that ready to be antisocial since or before then!

Answer 7

Ones Heart ... people try to cover their hearts to protect them. But it is always come shinning through when all is said and done. And when the watch isn't up so high that others get a glimpse of the strength and courage inside.
To find it within ourselves to show our tender hearts most of the time, we would be giving the world a true example of what it means to live fully, love completely, and give without hesitation.

Answer 8

I think it's "me". Don't we all? Even from ourselves? The question is, what is it? There's my irrepressible impulse to play - preferably creating something rather than mere "games". Often at unconsidered cost behind a facade of financial practicality. And I'm too mean to give anything away, from broken junk to old clothes, but love giving presents to friends and family, so I'm famous for Unchristmas and Unbirthdays and they think I'm generous! What fun! Tee hee!

Answer 9

The things i hide cant usually be seen too easily, only if im too exhausted or too sad to care about hiding them properly....only very few people in my life have been able to see my true inner feelings when i was keeping them hidden....

Answer 10
