Disclaimer: I'm sort of tipsy at the moment. You were warned!
So, here I am. At a "kegger." I'm 23, soon to be 24, and it's my first
one. A bonified college kegger, and I'm being antisocial. I'm in the
basement talking to you now.
I don't know why I feel the need to shy from society, or even
from company for that matter. Perhaps in a stranger's company, I feel
the need to perform. To become the social butterfly which is quite
unlike the loner I truly am. To be interesting. To be unique.
In social situations I feel the need to be larger than life. I become
the actress. The debutante The diva. Is this just an act, or another
facet or my otherwise strange multifaceted personality?
I've often thought that I have multiple personalities that I'm
always aware of, and in control of. It's incredibly strange. Do any of
you feel the need to become something other than yourself, for the
sheer action of feeling like you're living another life? For just one
night?
I don't mean the dream of living out a fantasy, or having the anonymity
of being an online personality. Is this something that's done often?
Something where you can be many people to many others?
I don't think I'd be myself unless I was many other versions of myself.
