Performance in Like No One Is Reading

Maybe I could create a character who is just like me except none of the depression and anxiety and bullshit. She’s quirky and silly and a little child-like. She doesn’t get nervous in public. She’s always a little frazzled but she’s always smiling, too.

Maybe I could play that character when I need to. I mean, it would still be masking but it would be a mask of my choosing. She doesn’t need to be just like everybody else. She just needs to be a little less like me.
