Why?
Is it for the mystery, the excitement that we told a white lie to a total stranger & the fact that they will never know the truth,
will we get caught?
will we get caught?
I know for a fact that I am not the only person who does this
when getting a coffee.
A few of my friends also have alias names.

Alias names are so James Bond, so Ethan Hunt & so hot right now!
I guess part of the reason I do it is because quite often people don't understand me.. I'm not talking a different language & I'm pretty sure I'm not talking jibberish..
(no, sorry, I'm not going to tell you my real name, the majority of you will know me anyway)
What i will tell you is that my name has often been mistaken for Carol & even Nicole.

I took it upon myself to take away the awkwardness of having to correct people & spell out my name each time i order coffee.
It's just easier.
This got me thinking.
Why are we so scared about letting people know
who we really are?
who we really are?
Is it a subconscious protection for ourselves so we don't give people the opportunity to hurt us?
I, for example, am very guarded.
It takes a hell of a lot for me to let someone in.
A close friend put it best when she said about me:
"You are easy to get along with but hard to get to know."
Yeah. Can't really add anything to that.
She hit the nail on the head.

This quote is up there on my list of favourites:
"People who are guarded are afraid that you can see right through them. That's why they hide behind layers."
True.
Who really knows you?
Well, going out on a whim, I'd say there would only be a handful of people who really truly know you.
Inside & out.
Hold onto these people because those who mind, don't matter & those who matter don't mind.
Getting back to names..
..as per this picture recently sent to me by a friend, maybe I'll change my name to this:

...although, that might confuse people more.
'Copenhagen? Like the capital of Denmark?'
'Yes.'
XOX
ps- Speaking of Copenhagen, i hear it is amazing & i would love to go there!
Will you take me?
Please?
I thought i would be the first to leave you a comment "Carol", great little briefing however i do enjoy the underlying excuse for lying about identity is that people don't understand you (not personally you, i mean it in a 3rd person)
ReplyDeleteyes i did read your blog from start to end and i do agree you must refer to your name as Copenhagen - because I doubt their are many individuals who will be able to keep a straight face
