Apparent and Hidden Traits

There was number of people whom I knew better than others around them. Not in a sexual way, but rather in a way about their true personality. They were far from what most people assumed they were.

What most people knew about them portrayed them in rather unfavorable light. However, in reality, they were much better people. However, they were the types would not show their better sides to just anyone. Sometimes not even their inner circle knew them well. Perhaps even they themselves are not truly aware that they were much better people, than most thought they were.

Likely they did not want people to take advantage of them, so their shield themselves in rather thick impregnable shell. 

Maybe it is even a principle of sorts: bad people pretend they are virtuous and caring to hide their dark side and win people to their side. Good people instead hide their better traits to prevent everyone from taking advantage of them.

That by no means mean that every bad person is really good on the inside, but that is something to think of. It is important to get to know their real self, not just what they want you to think about them.

It is important to know that you can actually trust their real selves.
