Perhaps many people put on a mask in front of others so as to
protect themselves.
Notwithstanding, it is only you who can see through yourself. Nobody can really understand you if you yourself even don't know who you really are.
When you can find your real self,
try to ask yourself,
is it true that your real self cannot be accepted by others, or it will be bullied easily?
If not, why are you puttiing on this mask?
