Let's assume that the only justifiable reason to wear a disguise is because you are doing dangerous work that requires you to be "undercover".
All other disguises, and they come in many forms, are the result of an integrity issue.
Integrity is consistency across platforms.
An individual who is cheating on their spouse requires a disguise.
Someone who is one way at work and another way at home requires a disguise.
A prospective employee who has a "doctored" resume requires a disguise.
A dating individual seeking to impress by being something they are not requires a disguise.
Someone trying to "keep up with the neighbors" requires a disguise.
There is truth in "faking it till you make it"...but it can, and must, be done with integrity.
If you are tired of "keeping up faces", take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself if you are being consistent across platforms.
What you find may require some tough changes, but the freedom from only needing to be one version of yourself will be well worth it.
