    The differences between my private self and my public self are similar yet different at the same time.

    While im at home at peace im more relaxed and comfortable. I love being in the house just jamming to music with nobody there too bother me. Music puts me at peace too where nobody can break it nor can they make me mad once im start listening. I also love too sit around on my free time and jus pick up the last book I was reading and continue too catch up on my reading. There is nothing like a good book that will keep you interesting into getting too the next page.

    While in the public im a totally different person, I live by one code” show no love, love will get you killed.” In the public eye im not a quiet person but im not as talkative too those in the street as I would be who are close friends n family. i love too sit back and observe everything and everyone around me for long periods of time. Everyone has there own personality but every personality isn’t meant too be round. That is one main reason I don’t talk too a lot of new faces, it keeps the trouble away. Also I try too being fairly nice, and not disrespecting anyone, because I try too treating others as I would like too be treated.

    What are the differences between my public self and private self? My private self is more lovable and my public self is cockier some might say. Hey that’s life, I don’t engage in conversations I was not spoken into. And if I don’t know you and you’re a new face too me it might take me close too a month too say hello too you, just because I don’t get used too new faces too easy, but in the house where I am most comfortable at you can find me a my most generous point where if I never met you I will say hello cause im comfortable at.

    Do I believe the difference in my public and private self too is diplomatic? No I really don’t. I really think they compliment each other. I have never really had a problem with the two mixing, because I let my personality do all the work, there is no pretending too be what im not. I don’t put on a show just for people too notice me, if you don’t feel comfortable around me, “it cost you nothing too pay me no mind.” I am a person who believes if someone can’t take you for who you are than you don’t need too have him or her around nor do you need him or her in your life.

    These are the differences between my private self and my public self. Also the traits that I carry when in public and in private. Also I have given you my thoughts on do I think the two are problematic with each other. No I don’t think there is a problem between the two, they actually compliment each other.
