Secret Mask.
Wearing masks is quite natural and
common, they are indispensable in relationships with other people.
Contacts with others in groups are easier when we use them. When we
look on other people we use stereotypes, because it is impossible to
know truth about every particular person we met. That's why we use
simplifications when we connect with others. We also create masks to
show how we want people see us, and what we want they know about us.
But sometimes, we lost ourselves and start pretend in front of
ourselves, refusing to accept something unpleasant. Sometimes we
spent really lot of time and effort to hide something about us from
ourselves, or to see in us something, which clearly isn't there. This
is also not so bad mechanism like it sounds, this is our
self-defence. BUT It is healthy, when we once for some time check,
what is under our secret mask.
