don't think i need to live two lifes just so i am able to do the job i studied for

i don't think it's necessarily about being two different people though....i think whoever a person is (whether or not they are involved in DS), we all have slightly different sides to ourselves which we choose to present to different people, almost unconsciously. i don't behave the same with my Grandma as i do with my Mum, my Mum the same as my Dad, my Dad the same as my brother, my brother the same as my friends, some friends the same as other friends...there are people i meet online with whom i am more open with than others...and so on and so forth;this isn't about splitting your personality or pretending to be something you're not, it's about modifying your behaviour slightly to suit certain situations. This is not to say a person should ever change themselves to suit other people, but it IS something we do, to whatever extent. Hence, if i have a job interview (the example given), you clearly wouldn't walk in, kneel down and announce your submissive status...but this doesn't mean you're becoming a different person or splitting who you are, just finding when it's appropriate to seperate elements of yourself and when it's good to amalgamate them.
