reacurring thoughts

how do you accurately represent who you are to the public.
strangers, and acquaintances,friends, and foes alike
everyone already has their impressions of you from the get go.
they see you and automatically sum you up whether they realize it or not, and i don't necessarily mean it in a bad way
i too am guilty of judgment after short encounters
i sometimes swear i love someone after one conversation,and began to like them after two.and its doesn't mean that i am naive or optimistic,i just like your thought process.
but at the same time i am aware that people are solely more than what they put out there.what they allow you to know, and how they choose to represent themselves, and it makes me wonder " do they do it on purpose?"
the best compliment(opinion) i have received to this day was that " i was genuine"
they thought that what i did, and said, had no other intentions that what they were done or said for.they thought i had no hidden agendas,and though i spoke no words i didn't mean. to this i couldn't even reply with my typical half sarcastic "gee thanks",that i usually end up giving when i receive compliments,and not because i don't think they believe it, but because i only half way believe it myself. instead i looked in the persons eyes, nodded my head in understating and said "that's admirable", and with a couple minutes of reflection finally said "thank you"
but am i?
i feel its my nature, i feel its human nature,but at the same time we tend to live any way but humane.everything around you tells you not to be genuine.you have to uphold a certain image if you want to get hired,you have to have pictures on facebump of you at the club if you want to be cool,and you cant even dig up your nose in elementary school if don't want to be remembered as that snotty hand boy who picked his boogers for-e-verrr.
its like we say we want "real" so much, but everything from how we constantly believe and replicate whats is aired to us through media, to how we act differently in public places says otherwise. we want real, but when real is shown we don't condone it.
we don't condone mistakes,im sorry's,or genuine i love you's.
we don't condone random thoughts,smiling or dancing just because you feel like it
and we for sure do not condone thought,questioning the status quo,or change

..where was i going with this
i guess to sum it up ill say that this is not me, i am not my actions, i am not how i dress, i am not how i seem, i am....
"nobody, who are you?"
trying to figure out,how i make you see me
how do i be, who i am?
