playing the role of two characters

This is something i noticed in myself .. i don't know if you all have it or not .. but i have two characters .. the prffesional role and the usual everyday role ..

In university i tend to put on a mask and play the proffesional role .. someone once told me that this is how i should pretend to be just to gain respect from the doctors or from the patients .. and even with my collegues .. the proffesional face is the serious face that shows responsibility and sense of authority .. with no sense of humor or anything .. someone i know once told me ( if i saw a good looking dentist i don't trust him ) lol i think it's funny actually coz being good looking has nothing to do with your work quality .. but patients have different prespectives in judging a good dentist .. they think a good dentist is the one who makes a quick and painless procedures .. not caring to know what's inside .. coz they come to the office and they're frightened already so when this person ease their pain and fear they worship him .. being gentle and nice is an important trait and you should also show that you have enough knowledge and experience .. always makes them hear what they wanna hear ..if she said she feels pain then she does .. give her more anaesthesia and don't just shut her and tell it's in your head you're anaesthetized .. even if you think you gave her enough pretend that you give her but don't inject lol .. i had this kind of patients and i've learnt how to deal with them ..

the other role is the real me ..well what can i say about myself .. a simple person and always trying to cheer up the people around me .. kinda living in my own world and i like making fun of people and talking to everyone .. i don't really care wether it's a guy or a girl but i have no boundaries .. you can say open - minded ... i dunno but i noticed myself being totally different person in the university .. cautious all the time .. and caring about my public image and what people say or think about me .. so i wear a stupid mask that i created for myself to keep this image .. i really hate it but i should live by the rules even if i think it's hypocrisy .. coz you can't change people's mentality .. if they're not open minded then they'll stay this way and nothing can change their opinion .. they will judge you and spread rumors about you and i really don't need this right now ..

The Role of two characters..well, that's interesting !!
I say yeah we should play the role of two characters.. this is important as u said to gain respect in front of the patient !!

but I disagree with u in some of the traits of the professional role !!

- I play my normal character with colleagues no matter they were younger or older !! I mean with colleagues,, no need to act the professional.

- umm.. why don't we use the sense of humour with our patient's !!?

yeah I act as a professional playing that role and at the same time me and the patient having fun together =D .. during the procedure i keep on telling my patient some jokes to refresh him and make him love my work and relieve the stress, and i always have fun with my patients as if they were my friends which relieves also my stresses and make me enjoy my work !!
as an example when it's the 1st visit for my patient.. after placement of the rubberdam i take his mobile phone and take a pic for him.. telling him u will always remember this 1st visit and how did u look with this stupid peice of green rubber =p

on the other hand.. I liked ur fake extra anesthesia move xD !!
