Masking (personality)

Masking refers to when someone tries to hide their true feelings, personality or thoughts. It is like putting on a mask to hide what you really feel or think. Someone might do this if they feel scared, nervous or uncomfortable in some way and don't want to show it. It can also be because they want to seem different than they really are or because they feel they have to act a certain way to be accepted. Whatever the reason, it's important to be yourself and to not be afraid to show your true self.
