2. "I've got an entire customer service personality that's fake."

3. "I am one of the most shy people you will ever meet. I switched grocery stores because the cashiers started to recognize me and wanted to chit-chat. I didn’t make one friend in college because I kept to myself. However, I am very successful at work because I know that if I don’t put myself out there and act confident, I won’t advance."

4. "My ability to perform small talk. I have absolutely no patience for it."

6. "Being interested in babies. I really don't care about your kid, I just know it's social suicide to say so."

—ausgekugelt

7. "Toughness. I’m actually very sensitive and easily affected."

8. "I'm a lot more judgmental than I let on."

—DevilsRejectAFC

9. "Being ambitious. Yes, I do want to be promoted. Also, what’s the bare minimum I have to do to achieve that?"

10. "I fake interest. A lot of the time when it seems like I'm listening and interested in what you're saying I'm not. A lot of the time I really don't give a fuck."

11. "I pretend I'm clueless a lot. It could be about work, or even just about something in life. You learn a lot about the person if you act clueless about something you're quite familiar with and they're trying to BS you with what they 'know' very little about."

—therobino

12. "My cheery attitude around people. By default I am very bland and depressed."

—xXReverbXx

13. "Being cheerful in a social situation that I absolutely don't want to be in."

14. "Impartiality. Some of my friends go to me for advice thinking I'm this calm, collected, wise, third party advisor. Admittedly, as much as I want to help them, I have my own biases and terrible advice to give."

—BnElmo

15. "I have a really good memory, but I hold back a lot on it because it can weird people out when you remember random things that happened months or years ago."

—-eDgAR-

16. "I fake apathy a lot for no apparent reason."

Bravo

—DolphinatlyNotPhil

17. "Being friendly to acquaintances. I have enough friends. My neighbors are really chatty and I just want to get into my house and not talk to anyone. I have to talk to people all day at work — when I'm finished, I don't want to stand in front of my house and make awkward small talk for an hour. But I do anyway because I don't want to be rude."

—pippoppippop

18. "Being outgoing. No, I don’t want to go out and socialize. Yes, I will anyways."

—Blake88fair

And finally, there was this pure answer...

19. "My dad likes to think he’s really smart so when I’m around him I act clueless so he can 'teach' me something and be happy."
