I do the opposite and act only my truly authentic self and if anyone doesn't like it sounds like a them problem. Pisses off almost everyone but makes finding that one person really easy. Downside being there are some people out there that REALLY don't like me.

I've been told time and again how "confident" I am even though it's not confidence, it's an incredible degree of composure I've attained by working grocery while being in the worst emotional pain imaginable for years. I actually have shit self-esteem and don't really try anything because I'm overwhelmed and I never really learned how to weather failure properly. Or rejection.
