I've built a work version of myself that's polished and capable and says the right things. It performs beautifully. But the real me, the actual person under all that, almost never gets to come to the office. Sometimes I catch myself wondering if the real one could even survive here, or if it's only the mask that ever gets to succeed.
More people experience this than they realize.
You succeed as a polished work persona while the real you rarely gets to show up.
