It's so annoying. Not admitting to liking this or that, so they bash it. But deep down they know the truth.

    i've never been afraid to be myself... that's probably why I turn a lot of people off. :?
    I'm crazy and I don't hide it :D

    You strike me as a guy who likes to fuck around a lot on the board, but in person is just a real nice regular guy!

    Maybe next time the boys hit Chicago I can find out for myself! :lol:

    the times when I would not be myself are very few.

    there are moments when I absolutely must get along with some people so sometimes I have to "push back" some of my delightful qualities. :lol:

    but other than that, I'm very much being me. on message boards and real life.

    Answer: because they don't like who they are. Or, they are afraid of what other people will think.

    Wow. A quote from a ridiculously stupid, yet funny movie that I haven't heard for a long time.
