Weird question but do any of you feel that you’ll never meet people you’re compatible with because you always put on a “mask” instead of being yourself?

I know exactly that people are afraid of true me. This is not because of my opinions or values, this is simply because I look fake.

I am really --T- dominated, and my feelings' perception is "simulated" through my thinking nature. I did a great work to become aware of myself and human emotions, because earlier I had wanted to become a psychotherapist, but even today I luck the sincereness and empathy in many cases.

Of course, people notice that. If I try to help somebody, they start to look for my hidden motives and sometimes even become paranoid about me. Once I had a friend, and she called me "dangerous" and "sly", and it was really astonishing, because I am chaotic and passionate and do not think about my next moves.

So paradoxically, my "masked" and faked personality looks much more real than the real me, it is the only acceptable option in my case.
