Yeah, if I was my real self I would probably get punched. I can fake it most of the time but if I get run down and my real self comes out then everybody hates me.

What the 'real you' means can be left up to debate.

Imo trying to live up to our own expectations of ourselves isn't faking it, but we don't always manage to live up to them either.

Is the run-down version of you the real you? How are you when you are well rested and having a generally pleasant day?

In that case you should put effort into changing, rather than hiding, your self.
