Anyone ever feel like you constantly put on an act in front of others?

I dont put up an act, but I mostly just evade public conversations, because i know there will be numbskulls out there just wanting to pick a fight. So i just dont want to waste my energy and instead rather get to know people in a more personal level. It more appreciated that way. And relationship might last longer.

but at some point isnt it possible to just create your own personality and just lump it in with the rest, then again they are all just created by him..... im done thinking im getting a headache
