It's a concept developed mostly by Pirandello. You actually wear a mask when you're in the society,another when you're with your family,another one when you're with your family. When you're alone you're no one, Who is your true being? Is the one you're with your partner? Is a set of all those masks?
Have you ever been real with me? I think that the one you were with me was the real you...

>When you're alone you're no one, not true I mostly don't simulate and wear a mask, hence why I feel so vulnerable aaand naked being dishonest is so disgusting to me that I'd much rather be alone than face social settings to fake it

well according to wikipedia it was Wkman and Friesen who came up with masking around 1970, but the first time I heard about this concept was persona by Carl Jung, much earlier than 1970.

the concept of masking in literature and culture in general is older and before the spread of psycology Pirandello has been the one who went deeper in the concept. Wikifag 0 Me 1

Keep uncovering the deepest truths of this sick world, user
luigi pirandello just sounds like some random author from around the same time as jung. unless you are talking about a different pirandello who refuses to turn up in search results.

Actually it was BASTE BLACK TRUMPMAN who first crystallized the theory
>baka Such a great 'discovery' you made, user. Personality is an adaptive construct, and its main purpose is to allow you to respond adequately to varying stimuli you might encounter. Thus, adjustments occuring in its expression based on the relevant context are to be expected. This should be clear to everyone with even the most basic brain function, but it would seem that progressing society-wide infantilisation precludes emergence of any coherent self integrating thoughts.
Anthony Martin
Yep, ain't that the truth
Jack Ward
>>baka
it was a provocative thread for a person who lied and was dishonest with me and with herself. nobody spoke of discovery. and yes I know very well that people adapt and change but I talked about not hiding and not pretending.

Read again what I wrote. They aren't hiding, nor pretending. They are using it in accordance with its purpose.
