I sometimes hide my shining optimistic side to avoid put-downs from others. Some will assume it means I don't know pain, or that I can't acknowledge their pain is real, but that's far from the truth.
I hide my strong opinions to avoid attracting unnecessary conflict. Already got enough conflict in my head.
And I hide the fact that I am a bit eccentric. I evolved to be shy and insecure so I could use that as my blanket so that I don't have to face the fact that I'm meant to be boldly different.
I hide my quirky preferences so that people won't go out of their way to make me feel better. It makes me feel guilty when people are too nice.

Amén , boldly different.
Yes, that is maybe the best word, one of 'em anyway, to describe Jesus way of living His life as a human on Earth . And, Jesus, not so coincidentally, said that so true in so many words, speaking to His disciples right before Jesus sentí to he at the 'right hand of God', speaking here of in two last parts of two gospel books of the bible. These are two of the most feared, yet revered, verses, I think, for Christians. Evangelista-challenging verses of all time helping us realize we are asked by Jesus to do things in the name of the Trinity, being given all power to do so by God our Father in Heaven. Our mission field, wherever that may be, is where God wants us to go do His work.
---------- Matthew 28: 19-20

We find out who we are, that is, we find out who God wants us to be, by bolding believing in Him enough to go into the world and preach His name , close to home, or, far away, or, maybe, far, far away, to reach the green people that need God , like Shrek

Hmm I know that I have many shortcomings...I guess I just don't too much hide them these days. I tend to have a very bad memory and things get jumbled around in my head which, in turn, makes me look and feel stupid when it comes out of my mouth. lol So I find myself avoiding some conversations because of it. I also have a need for appreciation (not necessarily approval) that I think takes a toll on me sometimes. I can easily become a Martha, trying so hard for that notice, that I forget to be still and focus on the relationships I'm in with friends and family. I'm very much driven by my servant's heart but it can also get me in trouble, so to speak.
