Dual Actors

We run into different types of people everyday, and I talk about them a lot. Sometimes too much, but that's besides the point.

Anyways. I encountered an interesting set of personality types recently. Those that act from the stage and those that act from the audience.

One type, parades their feelings, actions, drama, happenings in front of people. Trying to portray it in a subtle way, turning a blind eye to the fact there are "people watching", but actually knowing they are and looking for a reaction. This is especially true with facebook and their "relationship status" updates. Depending on when you make the change, determines how much of a spectacle you are making it out to be. And even so, just doing it makes it a spectacle because all your "friends" will see it. Why do we do this? Are we initially angry and want to just wipe all our shit all over the table?

Then there are is the other type. Those who act from the audience. They don't throw it all out at once for others to see. Sometimes they don't even DO anything. They just let it pass. Only those who inquire and ask really find out about anything. It's not a spectacle but more of a passing.

Is there ever a mix of the two?
