    In what place do you feel like yourself the most and in what place do you feel like yourself the least?

    i feel most like myself anyplace where i'm alone, or where whoever else might be there, is going about their own bussiness, and interesting buisiness at that.

    (a university engineering library, or out in the boonies by myself are both a couple of examples that come to mind. riding arround on public transportation when i'm not with anyone i know and there isn't some nutter trying to demand my attention on general principals is another. even conversations with INTERESTING straingers, where i have the lattitude to do so on my own terms, i'm cool with.)

    least when i'm arround people who think their doing the world a favor by their own infantile codependent demanding of attention. espcially when they offer nothing intelligent or interesting to even remotely justify their doing so. (i know it could be considered an emotional problem, but this is when i feel the most helpless, like a torture victum prisoner of a backward headed and ignorant society)

    I feel like myself most places. I think I'm the least myself when I have to go to some formal event and act like I give a shit about whatever is going on when I actually don't.

    Least, when my family is present, which isnt often, thank Goddess.

    There is also different "mes."

    Sometimes I wear so many hats, it's difficult to break through the layers and establish actual rapport.

    A person who wants to know me has a little work to do.

    I forgot since I haven't experienced it in so long, but I actually feel most like myself when I am floating in water with a snorkel mask on and my eyes closed. It provides me with a weightless out of body experience. More like I am a spirit and a piece of the earth, than a human.

    i feel most like myself in my hometown.. too much like myself. its like cheers,, everyone knows my name. and everyone knows my neighbors and cousins and brothers and friends and lovers. we have all seen each other through and i never have to front or feel like i cant be myself. my loud mouth, trash talking self.

    anywhere else i just feel like a fish out of water.

    To be myself? I come here.

    To be somebody else... I go to work.

    I hate this too. Unless it's business, then I can put my game face on.

    Why not just pretend they're all about business and always put your game face on. If you dont' know them, they'll never know the difference. :D
