“Keep wearing a mask and you’ll forget the face beneath” my favorite quote because this is why I stay true to myself because well I learned that the hard way, I have been a people pleaser in my years when I was in grade school and high school I pretended to like Kpop, Kdrama, I pretended to like the video games they played (I didn’t play any video games because I was in grade school and my parents didn’t let me use the computer let alone have a phone) and even lied about my favorite color because I want people to like me and it wasn’t until I graduated college that I finally discovered my interests which is anime, music from the fnaf universe, and my favorite color is colors that are neon
"If I may? I'd like to pose an interesting question. Are all human beings truly equal? These days everywhere you go there's talk about the fight for equality. As a wise man once said heaven does not create one person above or below another. People like to throw his words around but that's not the whole quote. He goes on to say that while we are all equal at birth, pretty soon things begin to change. Academic effort is what sets some people apart to rise above the others. At any rate, humans change over time based on their actions. Truth be told, at the end of the day, equality is just a fantasy and most of us go through life denying the fact that we live in a meritocracy." - Ayanokoji
Ayanokoji is a survivor of one of the toughest tortures out there (the white room) and despite he's born with a higher intellectual skill (apparently), we can be sure the white room instructors have tried to squeeze his capacity by pushing it to the limits anyway. At least he must have suffer physically. So it's understandable that his entire personality revolves around overcoming any challenge that is put in front of him by any means possible. Even for a genius like him, psychology is still something out of control and extremely influenced by environmental circumstances.
Ok here's a quote that i live by *"Don't try to copy out someone's choice just because you admire them, make sure to actually believe in that choice".*
Maybe it's like, we cannot simply easily create facades, fake personalities, hide our true intentions or emotional concerns and reactions that inevitably end up revealing personal behavior or information that you ended up sharing unintentionally
