One of the conundrums that eternally draws me back in is where people should draw the line between being themselves and being the person they need to be to get what they want.

[Poll #325737]

getting what I want

If I'm not me when trying to get what I want, then I get what this other person wants rather than what I want.

I need a frontrunner personality that can work the people. Where do you sign up to be a multiple? Don't tell me the team's full already?

there's no line. being yourself includes all the long and short term temporary subpersonalities, masks, faces and filters you employ from time to time as you see fit. isn't getting what you want versus being yourself an issue between different fragments or between one fragment and the whole?

my spidey-sense detects a lengthy and intractable debate approaching, in which it will take a long time to become clear that not only are the participants using the same words to mean different things, but that there are some fundamental differences in underlying assumptions which turn out to go all the way down...

I would have thought patience was one of the attributes you actually had already..

I know this comment is a bit late, but I was wondering what exactly about Ma Vie En Rose led you to think of these questions?
