someone else.

sometimes i do get the feeling when i'm with someone, that the person was (secretly or not) wishing that i were someone else. It's not a good or bad feeling, nor a/the correct or wrong thing to do (considering I've been there a few times myself-), and whether it's ethical or realistic is not important because that's not the main point, another topic of discussion altogether-

It's just that it's one of the things that i'm just not good at/can't achieve: becoming someone else. When i'm with someone that i like (or at least do not dislike), if i'm not very tired, or distracted by recent happenings in my life, i would make a conscious effort to ensure that the person enjoys my company. I could/would try to be entertaining, witty, funny, make an effort to look decent, to hold an intelligent conversation, to pay attention to the person, to be responsive in an adequate manner, to be a good listener, not to talk about things the person is uncomfortable talking about, etc,

but i could not (ever) be someone else.

有时，我常想-

（到底）

要多长的时间，

要多大的本事，

要多少的精力，

才能摸清一个人？
