A term for one who represses their true emotions and feelings, runs away or distracts themselves from their problems, and fakes an overly confident, careless persona as escapism, trying to convince themselves and others that they have everything under control.
It's typically due to being afraid of failure, conflict, intimacy, abandonment, their own emotions, losing control and/or showing insecurity, weakness or imperfection.
It was coined by @twofacedboyfail on tumblr as a MOGAI personality descriptor, but also with intentions to become a name for this character archetype
