While I was at work last night I discovered a real life
alter ego. There is a girl who comes into the club junk most of the time and
always shows signs of her being quite shy and timid, working behind the desk
you get to recognise regular faces. Now this girl has no reason to be so
unconfident, she’s pretty and from what I can tell looks respectable within the
way she dresses. However, last night the same girl entered the club with a
believable blonde wig on, now judging from her behaviour she seemed like a
different girl, she was more confident and had a crowd presence. I decided to
chat to the girl about her different look and she answered with the following
statement “if I go out as the same old me I cant be confident, I just don’t
have it in me... but if I put on my wig and pretend to be someone else for the
night, I don’t have to be me I can be anyone I want to. I’ve got a number of
wigs at home I wear when I go out so I can interact with people and just have
fun; I don’t have to worry about the shy me that I normally am.” I was amazed,
I had done so much research about alter egos and people changing who they are
to be more confident but I had never actually witnessed it in person.
This I think was the icing on the cake to my
project as I got to meet a real life alter ego
