My “persona” grew up with me and just morphed into the next thing it needed to be. Started as the good catholic school girl, got a little more impenetrable in law school when I learned how to “play the character” that was really good in competitions, then took over completely when I turned into the perfectly smooth, always correct and appropriate corporate chick. My problem was less about changing personas for my audience and more about finding what the personas had been pushing aside.

With A LOT of work I have learned that I am not nearly as conservative in thouht or appearance as I had been portraying. I’m not very interested in what other people think, althouh it is a struggle to break the approval habit. And most importantly little bits keep falling off the mask in public every day. And you know what? Nothing bad heappens! I’m more “me” than I have been probably ever. It’s scary but once it starts, you can’t go back.

Not really. Which is part of the reason they think I’m a bitch. I don’t respond well to being treated that way so to them it just makes me a bitch. Once they realize or believe that then they mostly leave me alone, which does work for me. What ever they think doesn’t really matter.

Delisa…is that working for you?
Does it feel good to play that Persona and have people treat you that way?

People think that because I don’t have a real job & I’m teaching my kids to care for themselves (we homeschool) that I do nothing but sit on my ass all day goofing off on the internet. They know I make things but are only interested in what I will give them for free. Many of them think that any kind of work you could do on the internet is a scam and being an artist/writer isn’t a real job.

I allow them to go on thinking that I do nothing and can’t do anything. In 17yrs of marriage I have hosted a family holiday once & didn’t even have to do any of the cooking. That is one of the bonuses of the lazy bitch persona. The downside being people think I am at available at all hours of the day to help them and talk to me like I’m stupid. Having no job = Having no value
