mask of true self response

Response to Jo Damcevski- Mask of True Self Post

Jo Damcevski you have, made a very god point here, and it is true we do put on a mask when we are at work or with friends and each mask can be very different as it may not be the person we are in every day life. We put on these mask to ensure that we can do our job to our best our ability and until some one points it out in a cases like this we do not realise the difference and what attributes we withhold in different circumstances.

Yes as Goffman argues ‘we are always wearing masks in order to make it to the highest point possible in the social ladder’. This is a true point as through this we, sometimes push ourselves further a work as an example to ensure we can get further in life or where we want to be. Good point being that it is our truer self and the person that we want to be and by putting on mask in some cases helps us to show our true self in everyday life.
