Maybe you act camp around your friends because you know it amuses them, and so you make them laugh with your antics?

Maybe, that sorta sounds like me... thinking about it i think you totally hit the nail on the head... it just annoys me that i do it all the time. They have never seen me out of the act

So the real question is: would you like them to know the real you? Would you like some of them to know the real you? the quiet you? the reflective you? or are they just people you hang out with because they're fun to be with, in which case they don't need to know the other personas that you are...

I always think that everyone is changing all the time to suit they're surroundings...
I'm certainly more girly when I'm around my girl mates, and then more manish and competitive around my man mates, and then more serene and serious when I'm at home... They're all me. I wouldn't want to be the same all the time, life wouldn't work properly...

You're such a wise man, its so weird to hear someone pretty much answer questions i have been asking myself for a ages. To answer the questions most of my 'friends' are just people i hang around with to have fun, but i think a few of them should know the real me
thank you

I agree with you, Wilem, I think we are different people in different contexts, but they are still YOU. And what's interesting is that some people only know you in ONE context, so they find it hard to imagine you as another person. As a teacher, I'm sure my pupils never imagine that I can have a private life, just like them, and that I also have a love life and an artistic life etc... They just know me as the boring English teacher, or the friendly English teacher, or the Boy-has-he-ever-got-a-weird-haircut English teacher, lol... How would they ever know that I can also cook quiche, unless I make them one? For them I'm the one who marks their papers with a lot of red... and that's that! Teachers are not human, lol.

Do you think you could sustain NOT acting camp in front of them once? And then see how they react to that.

Does anyone really know the real you?
