Ever since I was a kid everything I did felt performative. I'd act sweet and nice to people I knew would like that, mature and stern to people I'd want to respect me, dumb and funny to kids my age etc. About a month ago a guy saw me "switch" and told me it's unethical to not show anybody my "true self". I know what he said wasn't right but it did make me think: regardless of the way I present myself to people, isn't constantly switching between moral codes without conscience just a bad thing in general? I feel like I'm growing further apart from my humanity and have already lost most of my identity. I have no real opinions or morals and only seem to care about things that benefit me, and I hate it! Is there any way I could appear more individual and be able to stick to one persona?
