The Face in anticlimatic

You know, I don’t think people like being appreciated for who they “really are” (whoever that is). I think people like being appreciated for the fake persona they put on for the world, even if it might be the direct opposite of the nature and style of the individual portraying it. Even though it is unsustainably draining, appreciation reinforces the idea that we can change- that we can imagine who we wish to be and actualize it.
Being appreciated for our more genuine selves, regardless of what we might wish to say or be by our own decree or preference, just reinforces the idea that we are born with certain gifts- but also handicaps- and it just reminds us of our limitations and shortcomings.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't know if I agree. I think people do want to be known. Or maybe that people in general can't ever be happy.

I know for a fact you’re right. There’s people who are the opposite of what I’m describing here- people who resent being liked for their fake persona- probably because they resent the person for being fooled by it maybe? Who would prefer if they got to know the real them instead. I’d guess you would be this kind more than the other. True or nay?

True enough but changing. People don't deserve to be that close to me generally.
You?

I'm more the way I wrote about. I have a bad habit of making it sound like im talking about other people when im really just talking about myself. They call that projection I think?

Sounds like it might mix a person up but what doesn't? I do the same.
Any plans for the weekend?

Roasted my first entire turkey in the oven. Turned out pretty well. Girlfriend has been staying with family a ways south, so I get to rock out with my cock out. Not literally.

Cool about the Turkey though.
