Can I have a healthy alter ego?

Question

Okay so I am in one of my elective classes and I can't help that i am smart I just am. The others see me as a nerd, they don't even know me and how can they get to know me when they already prejudged me. Even though I am smart I also am cool and have personality. So if I change my appearance: take my glasses off and wear colored contacts, wear good clothes, and show my personality in public and go under another alias. will this be beneficial?

Answer 1

Be who you are.  If you alter your appearance for them then it will never make you happy.  Make sure whatever you change to, is what you want to be.

Answer 2

it will make people think twice about judging you but don't let them judge because your smart and wear specs. specs are awesome... if people can't except the fact that your intelligent, oh well. as long as your not rubbing it in people's faces. it's cool

Answer 3

Your ego will remain the same no matter what you wear. However, others will perceive you as different. Your personality always remains consistent, regardless of your outer personna.

Answer 4

Answer 6
