@MontgomeryQuinn It's very real, and the more genuine a person you are the more you might feel it. But like so many things, Shakespeare has the answer: "All the world is a stage and all the men and women merely players." It is an observation on the brevity of life, and all its stages, but everyone *is* playing a role at some stage. Walk the part until it fills your shoes, and soon enough, you are what you play.
