Description
How can one act? I act. Yet how can I act? Many people, assuming there are others like myself, wonder how they can act.I put on a front of personality. I can shy the truth from acquaintances and hint a glimpse of honesty to strangers. Yet why is even this?
Oh what a tangled web one can weave by illusioning such blatantly impotent questions.
With acting, does one tend to lose themselves? I do not even know the real me. I act accordingly to the present contact such as; if they like rock, I like rock, and if they like to laugh, I will try to be comical. And so on to this effect, I create a new personality with every new person I meet.
How does one find how to act? Each friend, each opponent, will never see the same persona. If they are merged in conversation, I will simply add both personalities into my presentation.
Acting of what? What could someone act about? Anything from the simple task of friendship, or spite, to the devastating act of betrayal, lust, and love can be improved, or manipulated by acting. Manipulation brings my next point, how can anyone ever trust you if you are a habitual liar, or how can I even trust myself.
Why act to be a friend? This is the most common use of acting. This sense of trust manipulation is used by nearly everyone in one point of life or another, if not absolutely everyone. What could possibly be achieved, one might ask. The answer, or answers are simple. One, is the fact that everyone thinks friends are required to live a fruitful, and happy life, and in nearly every case, this is right, yet, this is not the only reason to manipulate friends. An emotional back fall is sometimes required in a person’s certain duress of life, and is there just so the person has someone to talk to.
Why act to be spiteful? There are several uses, and this is another highly used manipulative tactic. In acting spite, one can show distaste in one’s appearance, personality, or mood, along with other numerous causes. In the habitual liar, or manipulator’s case, this tactic could be used to turn one’s emotions, or feelings on any amount of subjects.
Why act to betray? This is a severe form which is one of the most misunderstood, or in my opinion, completely misunderstood forms of manipulation. Betraying someone can break their trust in you, losing them as a friend, in which an acting friend would let go of the unattached contact. Betraying can also, in some highly manipulative and understood thought processed cases, can cause one to hold onto emotions even more, and form new feelings, stronger feelings.
Why act to yearn for lust? Most common in males. Due to the testosterone, males cannot keep their carnal urges in, due to lack of self-control. Most men use this tactic to get, and physically abuse a partner in a “one-night stand” scenario. Another, more emotional attachment to this effect is to relieve anxiety. One may not intend on any form of sexual reprieve, yet due to emotional stress, one may crave the desire to hold another, and temporarily feel another’s… thought’s.
My most self-questioning puzzle, why do I act to love? This is rarely used out of the realm of acting lust, but in my case, and who knows how many others, there is an exception. I act to love, because I know what it is to love, and how it can hurt. I know that love is not a matter to act, yet if you do not know that you are acting until too late, how is one to say you were wrong in ethic. I simply, as well as maybe more, crave the intended emotion one can only get from the thought of true love. Only pain follows this, as it rarely tends to blossom into a true relationship.
So the question is, why act?
My answer, to feel whole, and to feel empty, to feel needed, and feel hated.
Only the weaver can climb it’s way out of its own web, yet what if it forgets its own delusional design.
