I dont understand the direction of causation here. Is he ashamed because he attended with his real face, or did he attend with his real face because he was ashamed?
Are you all moronic? He's saying to get the best out of life, to achieve what you want. You must market yourself a certain way (costume) and he's ashamed to show the world as he is without a "costume" because he's found himself to be left behind, put in vulnerable positions and failing compared to those that market themselves in a way that helps them climb a social ladder.
I could probably word that a bit better, but frick it.
It wouldnt surprise me I was recommended this picture on Facebook at around the time op posted this. Except for some reason op doesnt realize how cringe this shit is
>TFW autist lifes matter >TFW YWNBA young man properly enacting yourself on this carnival masquerade and not sperging out autistically when the others around you just vibe naturally with the zeitgeist.
Why even live?!
This zeitgeist is only tolerable to women and their vapid veganal vibes, men are either successful but secretly miserable pretenders or failed and openly miserable rejects.
imagine oneself ignoring zeitgeist
imagine not enacting oneself upon zeitgeist > vapid veganal vibes le bad
Anon, I ... I feel sorry for you that your mother didnt love you enough to teach you at an early childhood that 'successful but secretly miserable' is the epitome of every living thing. Its like leaving children off for wolves by allowing by negligence them to be THIS emotionally unintelligent.
Because everyone are pretending to be someone else when in public and dealing with others. Nobody is exposing their true self to others. They walk around through life wearing different masks and costumes for different occasions and people. Only autists act like their true autistic selves, which often makes the normie afraid and confused.
I'm beginning to realize that myself. Like William Shakesman said, "all the world's a stage and all the men and women [and trans-folks] are merely players". Everyone are larping as some character depending upon the situation and the people they're with, pretending to be the protagonists of their own stories and trying to compose a grand tale that they can be proud of at the end of their lives.
Meanwhile, my autistic self has been walking around on this stage completely naked (so to speak) in my own skin, exposing my true self to everyone during every interaction, warts and all. No wonder I can't play this game of collective larp, because I'm a shitty actor, and I have no interest in indulging in delusions.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LMFAO THIS BOZO HAS EXPLOSIVE DIARRHOEA FRFR OHHHHH HELLL NAAAHHHHHH THIS GUY SO STINKY AHHHHHH SKULL EMOJI SKULL EMOJI GOOFY AHH FRFR
that's because society is created by men for women, and women have no personality,. They go from one costume to the next, like a perpetual succession of carnival.
conceptualizing yourself is a inseparable part of being yourself. It's not quite fabricating a fake personality or "not being yourself", but showing the "face" you choose to show in your personality. You choose and create the mask you wear, and where you wear it.
Plenty of hints are in the thread for who supplies the theory. I haven't read much kafka but,

As a non-autistic native English speaker, my instincts point to the former being the correct interpretation.
yeah english is not a good efficient language
How? It's clearly the former. You just lack reading comprehension.
It's not clear to an ESL, as Kafka left out a "that" in the second half of the sentence, "and that I had attended with my real face".
This is without getting into the unnecessary semicolon in the sentence; The sentence should have read "I had attended with my real face".
Basically it confuses and angers the ESL.
>It's not clear to an ESL
good, language should be gatekept from you shitskin homosexuals
The semicolon should not be present.
All he had to do was say “had attended” to clarify the attending happened before the ashamed.
he didn't say that in english ....
Then it must have been translated by an ESL
you are just a stupid eslBlack person
SIRS
the semicolon seems wrong in that quote, and causes that confusion.
english is not suited to translate german
This confusion is why English is the language of poetry btw.
ESLs can hate and dilate.
It is a deliberate artistic ambiguity
>tfw ESL
>Got the same meaning as the native anons the first time I read it
how the frick did you come up with the latter interpretation?
I just became dumber after reading your post
Rrather really, he is ashamed because he missed an opportunity to create a face.
die ESL scum

I could probably word that a bit better, but frick it.
he's saying that everyone lies, and he was too foolish to see it. everyone cheats and he thought everyone was playing the game fairly.
he feels stupid because he just realized what everyone else knew from the start
Life's a stage, but I wasn't acting.
what being a clown feels like irl
Kafka never wrote this. It's from the poem Costume Party by Atticus (Instagram poet) from his 2017 collection Love Her Wild.

Poor Kafka. He is right, though. Never let anyone get too close - never let them see you.

How is life a costume party?

Why is the one in private not equally disingenious as that is who you are pretending to be to yourself and potentially God?
read Jung

Kafka would never say something so unfunny
I don't like Kafka work but this quote is a banger
Why is being yourself shameful? Because the sheep say so?
