Our Split Personality

Everyone got at least 2 selves.

One Self is true to yourself, but always in the dark.  But it is an honest self.
It knows everything about you; your strength, your weakness, your preferences, your integrity, your values. In this self, we feel torment, unjust, badly treated, emotion and torture. The worst thing, this self can be cruel too.  Because it knows you so well and it can be so honest, meaning that it can also be so blunt it hurts. But if you can face this self, face it with honesty, be true to yourself, you could release your suffered soul from everything and anything.  You feel it hurts and torment you.  But from the torment and struggle, the healing normally make you or this self a stronger and better person.

Another Self, we take it out and show people at work, to socialize, with friend and family.  Not so real, it is just the way we want the society to see us including our family. We portray ourselves with this self. 
Work one, we want to portray a normal self.  But, the work one, is the worst self. This self is normally with some of these identities - pushy, lazy, irresponsible, manipulative, those not so good sides start to surface causing by the tension and stress related to power, money, status and pride.
Friend one, normally very surface because it is to socialize.  Socialize does not mean it has to be with sincerity. This self could be different from the one at work, but it is easier to manage as normally socializing does not take up big part of the time in our life.  It could be just only for show, no hanky panky after a couple hour.  
True good friend, ah ha, well, it is up to the person to decide how much he/she wants to show their true self. However, it can never be the true self. We will never know a person if we only know this self. ***Note - not even for your spouse or children.
Family one, this could be a 3rd self or same as the 2nd self. It could be nicer, if the family is good, or it would be worst, if the family is suck.

An over-lapping Self, the 1st self plus the 2nd self.  This happens when a person want to be sincere but struggle with the matter of trust.  Although I would say, there is no one in the world is the same alike ourselves.  Thus, trusting another person with 100% sincerity and honesty will eventually (most the time) got us hurt because eventually we will come to understand that we could not expect anyone in such.  But during the struggle, an over-lapping self formed.  This scenario is common in family and "good" friend.  Normally, the person will show the best of them - fun, responsible, loving, but can never show their true self.
