Are you.. yourself?

It's just an example, Penguin. He could be black, be from a rich-ass 200,000 dollar a year household, and be trying to pass himself off as "street", and he'd be just as fake as the white Mormon guy hanging out in front of the local Walmart with his homies. Trying to pass yourself off as something you're truly not is just bullshit.

I went to school with a bunch of kids that tried to do that. Most amusing.

I act differently around different types of friends. I don't just have 1 group of friends. I have 1 group of best friends that I act the same to all the time, but there are others that I act to their personality. I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm being fake, but it's not totally me.

When I first meet a girl, for example, I'm being as honest and sincere as I can to get to know them better, but that is just the beginning formality of me. I always say the first time you meet a chick, you are acting fake to impress, which I semi-agree with, but not totally. It's still an extension of me, just not the one that I let come out very often.

K_A and then Raziel are both completely correct, and it was what I was about to say.... But I have some stuff to add after work.
