Hello everyone! :) I just wonder if is it really necessary for you guys to weak a mask in different situation? Like is it okay to be pretentious? Like me, I wear mask when I am with my parents, I need to show them that I am still the little girl they have known when I was a child. I wear mask with I am with my friends, I have to show them that nothing is wrong with me. I wear mask when I am in school, I need to be quiet because I am just a student and I need to listen to the teacher. What about you guys?

well, i`m earing a mask with my parents too, but i`m also wearing it when i need to be seriously, because i like to be happy almost all the time. I like to pass through the problems with a smile on my face. Sure that sometimes there are some problems, that you can`t smile, because you really can`t . But in most of them, i`m all a smile, because in that way i`ll pass on that easily. It`s a proven method. If you`ll manage to think less to the problem, you`ll find a solution faster, or it will not affect you so much

Yes, we all present ourselves differently depending on the situation. I have been in the workforce for many years and have had to put on a different face to the people I managed, another one to my boss, another one to my friends, another one to my children, another one to my family members and yet another one to my husband. Now I'm a business owner so I have the face I put on to customers and the one I put on to vendors. At one point I was a manager at a college and also a student so I sometimes had to present myself differently to the same people...the instructors who had to abide by my department's rules yet who had the power when I was in their class and a few of my staff who were also fellow students in a class.
