    I am terrible at responding to social cues and making casual, personal conversation, but I’m a good entertainer. Not just making jokes, but delivering them well and with confidence. I can turn a room of people into an audience. So I make a lot of quips during casual conversation.

    The more comfortable I get with people, the quieter and less emotive I get. I put less energy into playing over my social deficiencies.

    But I don’t think one is my “true self” and the other isn’t. The entertainer is not a persona I play, it’s me making use of the things I’m good at, it’s my sense of humor, it’s based on my observations and experiences. Just because it requires effort, that doesn’t mean it’s not who I am.
