It means not being your true self... Showing a different part of you (which most probably's not even yourself) to the others....Originally posted by raingal:Actually I don't quite understand what is the meaning of wearing a mask. Can anyone explain to me? Does that mean the person is not sincere, not honest, fake, pretend to be nice or what?
If at work, I try to be nice to colleague, but at home, I am a bad-temper person, does that mean I am wearing a mask?
Don't understand. Pls enlighten me.

ever since i went to school i bore the brunt of pple's teasing. pple judge you. then i realise pple hang out w me only becoz of my grades....
i hate this world.
just because i dun really like to socialise then they call me names....
Even if you like to socialise you'll still be called names... It won't make much of a difference...
fine. then i shall be materialistic.
no one appreciates help from lower class pple
family values?? its money values....
money can buy a lot of things even happiness.
Money can't buy you happiness DIRECTLY?They can just buy you some SATISFACTIONS.... And some of these satisfactions in turn gives you happiness...
has anyone acheived a balance bw money and happiness?
Yes... In fact there's sort of like a 'recipe'?
am i going to be discriminated just because of this? why is it that i have no frens?
i help pple but pple dun help me back.
meritocracy?? all bullshit.
Guess you might just be mixing around with the wrong group of people? Try to change your Circle of Friends? And if they're your relatives, colleagues or close ones, you can choose to cut down relative interaction time with them?
I think you've got this mistaken? When you HELP someone, you shouldn't be expecting anything back in return... If you expect that to happen, it's called a MUTUAL RELATIONSHIP....
economic animal i am forced to be....
be myself??? i am always myself... now i wonder how many pple are themselves...
horrifying.
It DOESN'T matter how many people are being themselves... They live THEIR LIVES, you live YOUR OWN...?

Yes... What you've described about yourself is 'wearing a mask'....
Erm..... how come I don't see it as wearing a mask? I wish I could be a little nicer at WORK so that my colleagues will like me more and not complain me of my BAD TEMPER?
How's your life babe?
Still the lazy me. Lazy to check/reply mail, lazy to do anything. I am seeing my psychiatrist on Thursday and counsellor on Friday. Got something to talk to my counsellor and need her advice.
Perhaps you can try asking this babe out for a chat? I think both of you should have lots to say to each other...?
I do not know how to help her

Alot of things that people do they usually can't see it so clearly... Things being SUBJECTIVE and people usually seeing things from their OWN POINT of view... Such is the NATURE of most humans and in some either a blocking stone or FATALITY...
WISHING is NOT enough? However, you can always try to WORK your way there...? Try to CONTROL your temper and you'll realise that this can be MORE than just a DREAM...? Your efforts won't be LOST but would be REWARDED ACCORDINGLY..?

Gotta change babe...? Before you know it when you suddenly have this change of mind that you wanna do something or achieve something in your life.... You would already be WAY BEHIND...?
I do not know how to help her
Not asking you to help her... Just asking you to get her out for a chat...? She've got GREAT FRUSTRATIONs... ANGER and hence TEMPER...? And BOTTLED & TRAPPED in her OWN WORLD as you are...? Go CLOSER... You MIGHT have UNEXPECTED discoveries waiting for you...?
Don't say "no wonder i am lonely at 24", me lonely at 26 also never complain. Anyway, knew you are really Very upset, mayb you can look at it this way, all the guys weren't fortunate enuff to hav the chance to luv you. Don't b sad, it's better to giv up guys who go for your money now rather than regret later, agreed? God will always arrange a suitable guy for you this is what I always believe. Cheer up, try to go out with friends more so that yo won't have time to think about unhappy stuffs, ok? I hope I kinda relieve a bit of your worries and unhappiness...Originally posted by riesla:Dear all
Thanks for reading my post...
yeah just like to pop a few thoughts
had a few guys who liked me then dropped me because of external appearence then some din like my status coz i was too frenly with some guys. then i met a soul mate and he rejected me coz he thought i am poor.
so wats the classification for poor huh?
maybe i dun love myself enuff and end up doing too much for other pple?
so people are not equal. pple have ranks.....only mix within ur own rank.
so why bother to work hard when ur rank is already graded?
i even had my pri sch fren telling me that she had no frens to my face.
this world is cruel. take good care of yourself and pple will come to u .
no wonder i am lonely at 24.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you[This message has been edited by john hunter (edited 19 May 2002).]
want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the
things you want to do.
