The work of being myself

Do you think being yourself is an easy thing?  I'm here to tell you it isn't.  Being yourself necessitates never hiding who you are......exposing your most vulnerable feelings to everyone.  That leaves you open to injury from people who may hate you or just not care a nickle for you.  The alternative is never being yourself.  Never exposing yourself to potential injury.  It is like being onstage under a spotlight twenty-four hours a day.  Being closely and continuous scrutinized is exhausting.  Actually, you can do it part-time both ways, but that tends to create false impressions and misapprehension about who and what we are.  Maybe there is no satisfactory answer.
