Are you brave enough to be yourself in public?

Do you think you should be?

I wonder--- it seems public "personas" get short shift.

If a person is only one "person," has only one face, it seems as weird in this society as having only one set of clothes, and showing them all to everyone might seem inconsistent; confusing.

Who is your "self?" The one you show to the stranger on the train, the one you hide from your mother?

I have self I show only to you, and one I show only to Bill, and some of each I don't show to Edward, who has seen more of what I show intentionally than pretty much anyone.
