Is it normal that i sometimes get jealous of myself?

Please read, try to understand for real and if you don't understand ask me a question or try reading again, I need someone to understand and give an honest opinion.
So sometimes I feel like I am masquerading around and I can't really feel like I am being myself. Since I do this, I have fun and I have an outgoing personality and a lot of friends who love to be around me. However, I feel like the real me is an introvert with a wild imagination. I like to imagine about what type of musical artist I would like to be, I write songs and I am writing a book that is totally fiction and it sounds dumb whenever I explain what its about, or I also think about what type of plot would be really cool to make into a book or a movie. I also self obsess about how I can be a better person and how I can fit into other peoples personalities. I can't just go around telling people the type of book I would like to write or what type of singer I would like to be if I am in the total opposite field of that and I don't want to be famous. I'm a waitress and I am studying to be an accountant, so yeah totally opposite. On the outside I am an extrovert and on the inside a complete and total introvert and that is when I feel most like myself. I guess I feel like if I ever told anyone my thoughts and my true wishes that no one would take me seriously and it wouldn't lead me anywhere. I do not have a double personality, its just that I wish I thought more like the outgoing personality that I have because it would just make things be so much easier for me. I wish I really was the logical and strait-minded person that I portray,(this also adds to my daydreaming), lol. Is that normal? Also, I wonder if I should actually try and be more of who I am on the inside and break out of my shell, but how the hell am I going to do that, I wouldn't know where to start. I would have to get to know myself too much and I only know about how I feel, not who I am entirely, I mean do any of us know who we REALLY are, if you do, please let me know!!!

    I would suggest therapy to help you sort out your whole personality and self.

    Chaosdragoon1 answer is awesome! It made me think becuz your story is similiar to mines. I daydream and I have created this whole world inside my own head. Its amazing. But I am very shy and my inside self is not the self that I portray to the world. So when chaosdragoon1 said that both the sides are you then that made me think about why it is that I chose to only show one side of my personality and not the other? I think you should follow your true dream. My dream is to model and act and when everyone (my whole family) heard that I wasn't going to college but instead I was going to follow my heart they all had a fit and made fun of me. It was at first very hurtful and I doubted myself until I started to open my eyes. They all had dreams too that they gave up on because they were to scared to follow them. Most of the people who made me feel the worst are the ones who are the most unhappy with their life. They are at dead end jobs, failed marriages and even if they are married with a very well paying job and highly educated they are so depressed and so unhappy. Their life is merely just for show but behind closed doors their life is in turmoil and they wish they had a chance to follow their dreams. If you truly deep in your heart want to follow your dream then I suggest you do it. I have blindly walked to follow my dream and opportunity after opportunity is coming out of no where. My first year has not been nothing big and I did not make huge amounts of money but I did a lot and I learned so much. I have never felt more a live in my entire life. I think I was dead my entire life and now I am finally living. Whatever you seek in life you shall find. Oh, and about your two personalities... The more I followed my dreams the more I stopped fearing what ppl thought about me and the more I stopped fearing my life and that is when that side of me started to come out. Chaos is right, both the sides are you but you may never meet your inner me until you step on stage and face your dreams and your fears in the eye. That is when your inner me may come out. I know when I am acting and model my whole personality shift and its the strangest feeling but it feels so good. I can't even control it, it just happens naturally. Then when I am off the stage I revert back into the quiet me. Put on a performance one day and see how it makes you feel. You will see what I am saying when its all said and done.

    I don't think the title really matches what you just explained. But then again, I could be wrong. But yeah, I think it's normal.

    Mkay so I have thought about it after I wrote it and I am going to begin to break out of my shell. I am going to start writing and some of my friends know I like to write and they told me I should do so. I am not crazy and I like to figure things out on my own and with the help of friends so I don't feel the need therapy. Being jealous of myself meant that I wanted to be more like the outgoing person that I am around my friends and feel like that on the inside. Watch the utube video of vincent price, sort similar, I'm just not as dark. I am myself around my friends, but noone wants to hang out with a downer or a buzzkill so I don't talk about my likes all the time, I think it's selfish. I do talk about it sometimes but I just don't go into detail, even though I go through every little detail in my head. I guess I am just a perfectionist with my music and writing and I want to tone it down, yea thats a personal issue. I think its normal to have self-conflictions from time to time and having wrote about it made me think about it and now I feel better. Its just really hard for me to explain something without writing too much so sorry if I confused anyone. Thank you all for your comments. If you have any more confusion or questions then just ask.

    You have invented a personality that you want the world to see and you've hid the real you so if you start telling your close friends you want to write books on fairytales or sing acoustic love songs then naturally they wont take you seriously.
    I'm a complete joker around my friends so as soon as I'm upset about anything people are shocked. It's my own fault as I wear a mask and people believe I'm a strong person but really I'm just a girl affraid of the world and it's bloody hard.
    I suppose if you throw the "real you" out to the rest of the world it may come as a bit of a shock, if you throw yourself out in small doses people will get used to it more quickly. People can be very shallow, but if they're your true friends they wont mind. Locking yourself away is such a sad idea, how can you ever really be happy if you're not really you?
    You have a creative side- you should be SO proud! The amount of people I hear who say "I wish I could draw" or "I wish I could write" is amazing, you should be want to show it to the rest of the world! You can still study to be an accountant- I work in the car industry but in my spare time all I do is write poems and and stories, you kinda have to have that fall back plan incase you can't go with your dreams but you need to start letting the real you shine, it may surprise you how people react =)

    Title fail.

    You are a logical person. In a sense. To the point where you are nearly too self aware. Rather trying to be simply one part of yourself, be ALL of yourself. The introvert and the extrovert are you. What you are is a considered to be relatively well rounded. Don't give up apart and change, merge it all and grow as a person.
