Putting On A Front

[jw5]

Do you find yourself putting on a front very often in life?
Where do you put on a front most often? In the workplace? At home with the wife or parents? With friends and acquaintances?
Would you like to lead a life where you don't need to put on a front and just be who you are or how you feel? How can you achieve that?

I put up a front in this forum. In real life, I'm a very nice humble guy. In this forum, I'm awful.

Like dr jekyll and hide? Tiger at work and mouse at home?

Social norms sometimes dictate our facade. But I guess we shd 1st be comfortable with ourselves. Only caveat is there's always room for change aka improvement:p

But that's not putting on a front.
Putting on a front is being someone you are not or trying to appear a certain way which is not the way you are feeling or thinking.
Fumbling in front of the girl you fancy is as real as it gets..............

It could also be tiger at home and mouse at work.
It may be that social norms decide your facade, but do you envision a day where you can throw away all the social norms and facades?

Why do you need to wayang in front of the wife?
Do you have a mistress or girlfriend on the side?

Really not necessary... once you put on a front, assuming that's not the real you, are you going to live with this lie for the rest of your life? Tiring, isn't it?

 

[madmansg]

you can try putting on slippers and t shirt and shorts at the office and the see if you get promotion or the sack the next hour.

It may be tiring but most people consider necessary in life, especially in the work place.
Some people do it at home when they have something to hide from their wives or families, e.g. an affair, or a nasty habit like gambling, drinking, or even drug taking.
I assume you are yourself always even at work?

1. HE will know that you are putting on a front.

2. You should be more concerned about your salvation than your points here.

True, but does there come a time where you say that you have enough of putting on a front and break away from being a hypocritical coolie?
