_The Clown_

Clown is, like most of us, seeking some sort of recognition and attention. The sadness is that he thinks he can gain notice only by playing the fool for others.

Deeper than this, it may be that he identifies with his act and tries to evade reality by taking nothing seriously. Clowning or being other person is sometimes an escape device from reality.

The clown doesn’t know how to handle ones difficulties or to handle himself in a serious situation or how to react to sorrow and sadness, so he avoid or escape from reality.

In dealing with others, his clowning serves as an adequate defensive mask to prevent others from knowing who he really is. He would rather laugh and joke than to face the grim realities of life.

Basically, the problem is that he cannot distinguish between himself as a person and being other person.

“Be true to your self” is the best thing to do. Because that’s the only way to find your true happiness in life and your not hiding to everybody anymore!
