Question

Everyone has got two personalities(性格)--the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.

If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you’re easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you’re not very confident.

If you sleep on your stomach, you’re a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.

If you sleep curled up(蜷缩)，you’re probably a very nervous people. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you’re defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a very well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get sad. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.
