"A few messages back i noticed some discussion of the merits of masks, and last message i saw had some of walls inside yourself. Having some experience with both, i thought i'd chip in my two cents. Masks do what they are supposed to, they give an impression you want to to people. I personally decided that i would rather let people see what they think in me, not what i think. It scares a lot of people off, but it has gotten me a bunch of very close friends too. Your decision, it can work either way. ANd as for internal walls: I had a wall once. I needed to keep a particularly nasty corner of myself under control, and walling it off and denying it worked. For a while. Relying on internal walls has the disatvantage that they break, and mine came close enough to doing so [with possibly fatal results for someone] that i scared myself into changing.
