FASHION ALL AROUND THE WORLD PRIVATE MESSAGES>V>ARCHIVED

@V: Do you ever feel like a fraud?

@GiantMaknae: What do you mean?

@V: Like you're expected to act like one person at school, and another person in front of your family, and someone else around your friends. I get so tired of living up to other people's expectations, and sometimes I try to remember who was the real me is, and I don't even know.

@GiantMaknae: That happened to me every day. I don't deal with people very well.

@V: You don't? That surprise me.

@GiantMaknae: I'm not shy or anything. It's just that . . . okay, this is going to sound strange, but I don't like being put on the spot. Because if someone is talking to me, talk talk talk, it's all fine until they ask me my opinion, like "What do you think about chocolate chip cookies?" And I hate them.

@V: You do?

@GiantMaknae: Not everyone likes them, you know (I prefer sugar cookies, just in case you were wondering.) Anyway, if someone asks me, when I'm put on the spot, I blank out and try to read their face to see what they expect me to say, and I just say that. Which means I end up saying I like chocolate chip cookies, when I really don't. And then I feel like a fraud, and I think, why did I just do that?

@V: I DO THAT ALL THE TIME. But it's even worse, because after it's all over, I'm not even sure whether I like chocolate chip cookies or not.

@GiantMaknae: Well, do you?

@V: I love them. I'm a fan of all cookies except oatmeal.

@GiantMaknae: See? That was easy. If you ever need to figure out who you really are, just ask me. I'll be your reality check. No pressure or expectations.

@V: Deal. For you, I will be my 100% real, oatmeal-hating self.
