Quote by C. JoyBell C.
The difference between me and other people is that they all walk around with onion skins wrapped around them. Pre-meditations, pretentions, the faces that they present to the world, the faces that they present to themselves.. onion skins that come in layer after layer. They're on the inside of all that. And I... I am the inside of the onion skin walking around. I am only me.
Summary
This quote suggests that the speaker perceives a distinct contrast between themselves and others. People, in their view, wear metaphorical layers of pretense and façade, presenting different personas to the world and even to themselves. In contrast, the speaker sees themselves as transparent and authentic, lacking such layers. They consider themselves to be genuine, without hidden agendas or false identities, simply embracing their true self. This quote emphasizes the speaker's self-perception as uniquely sincere and genuine amidst a sea of superficiality and pretension in others.
