Are you a different person in private than you are in public?

I think everyone keeps part of the personality private and different from their public persona. For example when you are at home you may laugh a lot with your family but when you are at work you may try to keep this to a minimum as work may necessitates a more serious persona. Similarly you may make a lot of rude jokes with your spouse but you would never even consider that kind of a thing in public . So I believe we may have certain aspects of modular personality and that’s is not a effort to deceive. It is simply a case of keeping modules of your personality private and others you expose depending on your function. In addition you may develop additional modules of your personality that you didn’t have before .For example you may not be a talkative person but if you are customer service person you may have to develop a friendly and talkative persona to deal with the customer and then revert to your normal non talkative self when at work.

Yes, I am a different person in public and in private, even my closest friends and family noticed it. I don't know why, but in the house I am totally introvert and doesn't talk, I love staying in my room than staying in the living room, I hate visitors so when we have visitors in the house I will remain secluded in my room where I could feel peace of mind and happiness, I just read books adn write things on my personal journal. But when I am outside, in the workplace and with my friends, I felt I am a totally different person, I am more bubbly and spirited, I laughed on top of my lungs and talk endlessly. I don't know if I am wearing a mask, but I am just being honest with myself, if I am sad,lonely, inspired and happy I don't hide it, maybe I am more happier in my workplace and in the company of my friends than with my own family.

no, if you live such a life , you must be very tired.lol just to be yourself. happy mylotting.

In my work place and at home I have different personalities because I really needed it, I am a trainor and I train people who are older than me and much stronger personality than me so I am strict outside but in our home I am just simple as a person.

I think I am more reserved with people that I do not know as well than I am with my friends. I also must say that I act differently with certain friends than I do with others. In general, I am a people pleaser, so I try to meet everyone's needs in a relationship. I guess this fact causes me to change the way I act around certain people.

I think everyone is different in private where they can relaz and "let their hair down" than they are in publis, at least I hope so. There are things I wear at home I wouldn't wear out in public. There is behavior I might ingage in at a party at a friends house or a nightclub that I would never do at an office party. There is a time and a place for everything.
