Question of the Day: Day 85
Why do so many people frequently wear "masks" and hide their true thoughts and feelings from others?

We are looking for answers to some hard questions as we dig deep inside and explore our own core values and how that guides not just our own lives but the very world that we live in. These questions will be asked to a group of high school students but we would also like to hear from the world at large. While we hope to keep this forum wide open we do reserve the right to delete responses that we find to be offensive or combative in nature. Thank you for participating with us.

Shame, fear....
Ashamed of something that may or may not have been their fault.
Ashamed of something that happened to them.
Afraid to be themselves, afraid to trust.
Afraid that others won't understand chaos inside them.
Fear, mostly.
I think they do it so they can look like everything is ok and nothing is buging them.
Ruben,
i think people wear mask cuz mayb there afraid to get hurt.they could wear mask because they dont want people to no there true idnity.
They think others will think different of them or treat them different.Sometimes people hide there feelings because it's the best thing to do.you dont wont to have people think your different then who you really are.
they are afraid they might get made fun of for crying or expressing themselfs
I agree with the answers already given and will add something extra.
Some people want to fit in so desperately that they will try to be whatever they think other people want them to be.
I think that usually backfires because it is too hard to be fake all of the time.
People should just be their authentic selves and make friends with others who can accept them the way they are.
