[Thinker]

@ SmileysPerson: Bingo!

I am very familiar with those faces: I have sometimes thought of them as "acting roles" or even various "suits of armor"

I know the "Competent Entrepreneur Thinker" who presents to the VC's, the "Submarine Officer Thinker" who takes charge and gives orders, the "Technical Expert Thinker" who gets up and gives speeches, the "Beer Drinking Thinker" who hangs out with the guys, etc.

I can even recognize the transition I go through in changing from one to the other.

There are also situations for which I never developed a mask, a persona. Those are uncomfortable, scary.

I also well know the "Married Thinker"

But that role/mask doesn't work any more...

And none of the others seem to fit either...

You seem to have been able to fall back on another mask which you had developed previously (Fun, flirty bartender Man?).

That one is..er...a bit underdeveloped for me.
