Pretending who you're not is a difficult thing to do. I am the type of person who hates wearing a mask. I don't really care what they say about me as long as I am happy and as long as I'm not stepping anybody's life.

I agree with you. Being someone else is something that really hard to do, but I have to admit that in my life I am still doing that. I need the mask to be able to blend in the society because behind the mask I don't like to be in the society. I don't like people. I know I would be happy if I don't need to relate with anyone, anyone unnecessary. But somehow, seeing the reality, I need it, I need people. How could I live without people around me? That was why I think I should still wearing mask. I need it to be able to survive in this life.
I know that the dream of being able to be ourselves completely is really tempting. The dream of being able to live just like what we want is really a great utopia, but I know that it is somewhat impossible. I know both is hard to do, but somehow I know that I can still be myself online and when I was alone. And I think it was enough.

Yeah, you're right that we have to blend with people sometimes. But it doesn't mean that we are wearing a mask every time we socialize. We just want to explore the world for us to see where we fit in. I am a loner but I want to socialize sometimes to go with the trend.
Just be yourself and people will just love the way you are.

Would be great if I can do what you do. Of course, I am able to find some place, where the people are just fit with me. I, of course, have a place where people there are just like me. That way, I can socialize without being someone else, but places like that are usually so narrow linked, and being in narrow society you would never be able to develop yourself.
The urge of a human being to socialize with other becomes the reason why we should be able to adapt with more and more people. That means we should wear a mask once in a while, but the more you need to socialize, the more you need to change the mask from time to time.
