Every morning I do a kind of costume check before I walk in, deciding which parts of me to leave in the car. A coworker asks what I did this weekend and I go vague, rewriting my own life on the spot. I don't know how much of the real me is safe here, and the hiding is wearing me down to nothing.
More people experience this than they realize.
You don't know how much of yourself is safe to show at work, and constantly hiding is exhausting.
