Except for this current bout of homelessness i always had a job.But i highly recommend anyone hide the fact they are homeless for a very long list of reasonsUnfortunately a dirty little secret.As long as your ID doesn't have a shelter address.There isn't much chance a person will be found out.Remember that you're inadvertently being watched.Don't hang at homeless places such as parks.Careful waiting in lines at shelters & rescue missions.Careful who else you tell you are homeless.I say this because your coworkers or boss could see you in public without you realizing.Have your fibs ready for nosy employees,where do you live etc.Yeah it sucks you'll have to lie, but if you don't your life will be ruined in an instant!!Because they'll ask.Otherwise it is possible no one will ever find out.I suggest a bit of disguise when in public, wear a hat, wear hair differently, don't wear the jacket/ coat you wear to work out in public. Use a different one.It's nobody business . And as much as some might seem sympathetic the attitude changes real fast when a homie is standing in front of them
