When people hide who they are and create something new from themselves that lowers not only self esteem but their ability to make new relationships. Such as in To Kill A Mockingbird Dolphus Raymond pretends to be an alcoholic, “Wh-oh yes, you mean why do I pretend? Well it’s very simple,” he said, “Some folks don’t-- like the way I live” (Lee 268). This shows that Dolphus knows society doesn’t like who he is so he pretends to be a drunk. Also in Our Brains Immediately Judge People it describes how our brains automatically judge people depending on what we think is socially acceptable or not.
