We all have egos - and our individual preferences lead us to different actions to satisfy our egos. Some of us need verbal affirmation, some of us need to demonstrate an amazing accomplishment or achievement - still others, thrive on the thrill of secrecy or being covert - like having a secret awesome identity that nobody else knows about.
When it comes to relationships though, our egos can change. I've noticed this. The usually secure and boastful alpha male becomes insecure and doubtful in front of his mate. Or the usual secretive silent achievers can't shut up about their awesome quiet accomplishments in front of their loved ones.
What is it about us as social beings that requires us to wear a mask through most of our daily interactions?
Is the world such a truly gruesome and terrifying place? Are we all so afraid of each other? What's the worse that could happen if we abandoned our facades for a day?
Apologies for the existential rambling - I blame the gloomy weather. Next week, I'll be reviewing Sex and the City 2 - should be fun!
