Washing The Face Off

Whether we admit it or not, the way we present ourselves to this world is dependent as to whom we're interacting with. Of course, we tend to flaunt a much prim behavior in the presence of authority or when situation deems flirtation is necessary. Both men and women wear this "makeup" during the first interactions. Indeed, the passion to impress is innate in humans. But to wear that impressive mask may be tiring at some point.

When a relationship reaches a certain comfort level, the previously repressed persona becomes more apparent. For some, the significance of the difference is so drastic, hence the reason why we usually hear some people utter the phrase, "You've changed."

People changing may not always be the case. More often than not, that's the real them. You weren't just able to notice that before because they were wearing a mask... and come to think of it, it's also possible that your own mask partially blocked your view.
