I'll put different parts of myself on mute when I'm talking to different people

Really, I filter myself a lot when talking to anyone. What would make them angry, uncomfortable, bored.

I'll put different parts of myself on mute when I'm talking to different people or depending on context.

And I try to play up appreciation, praise, happiness, and a carefree attitude with most people.

It's all a matter of remembering things about people and how they respond to different things.

And it takes a drastic switch sometimes- from laughing at the anti-theist's anti-theist jokes to having a solemn expression and appreciative words for the theist's religious stories.

Honestly, I don't really like theism, but the vitriol in a certain anti-theist I know doesn't seem productive, cooperative, or, for me, mentally healthy.

when I'm making a bio a thousand things come to mind and I don't know what to put, so I just choose something that will make me seem friendly.

so instead of saying something like:

I'm vegan, I have misophonia, I prefer they, something something medical informion that is TMI probably, something something negative emotions and insecurities, something something trauma, I'm not great at cooking, I try to eat healthy (ish, er than most people) I like talking to myself, etc etc etc,

I'll say something more like

I write, draw, make poetry, music, sing, I like walking, nature, rambling, hearing people talk about their hobbies, watching shows, writing reviews, I like video games, anime, voice acting,

but wait actually some of those are bad in certain contexts as well, and the ‘less friendly’ ones can also be good… the way I behave in each situation is going to be filtered.

in fact I think mixing a few items from both lists might be ideal

to seem both authentic and friendly
