Are you a different person at home and outside?

I believe we can really be a different person at home and outside of it. We can be different in anywhere we are, i think. It depends also on how we feel about others who are with us. I myself have different attitudes when i am at home and I'm outside of it. At home yes i feel stressed at times cause of too much household chores to be done and the fact that i don't have someone to help me with is really hard. but then i try to think that i do this for my family and for myself. i just think of happy thoughts rather than feel bad about what i am doing. it's hard to have hard feelings while you are working. When i am outside, and i am with my friends, i felt happy and cheerful that sometimes i am not when i am at home. well, there are things i can tell my friends which i don't tell my family. i believe i am not the only one here who does that. at work we can also be different because most of the time we want to achieve something for ourselves.

I do different people in home, office and was in school.I become so quiet on home and work area, but when in collage/ was school I become much more comfort to be myself and expressif.I feel not free in home and work area

Hi Scheng, i am also a different person when i am at work before then when i am at home. At work, most of the time you will see me talking and explaining things to my co-worker. Because that's the nature of my work, i need to work and supervise members who worked under me. I need to maintain the work performance of my ex-colleagues for the well-being of my company. But when at home, i prefer to talk only when someone is talking to me. Most of the time, i am only surfing the internet and reading books. Now i am married, so need to talk a lot with my hubby and son, same like before when i was working.

Definitely I am two different people. I think this is because the environments are different. At home, I have to deal with the traditional and conservative ways of my parents. They do not like every decision that I make or things that I do. It irks me about that. I was so happy when I moved out because I was finally free from underneath that rule, but as a result of unemployment, I was forced back into it. I think this time it is bad because I have been out of the house for quite some time, and this situation is causing some clashing. I have tried to adjust, but it is hard. I am not the same person. At home, the idea of having a girlfriend is impossible because they didn't like some of the choices I had as friends. I played football when I was a teenager, and they couldn't get past the idea of having a weightlifting, football playing teenager in the house because of how big I was, and how much food I could eat. They didn't trust me, and our schedules caused conflict. I was growing to be depressed and bitter. On big issue was over the food because they did not grasp the concept that muscle consumes more food, and that I am not a twig. I am a horse. I was more comfortable when I was away from home. It is such a miserable place that I feel like the person I can truly be when I am away from there. Even if other people did not understand me, on the outside, I felt more respected and treated better than I would get at home.

Of course there has to be some discrepancy on how we act when we are at home and outside. At home we can sit down comfortably with our feet up but outside, let's say at the office, we can't do that or we'll violate the guidelines.

hello scheng, I am still the same person inside or outside the house That's why most people loved me because I don't hide myself inside the closet if I am going outside What they see is what they get This is ME wherever I am it's still be the same happy mylotting

I think it's normal, I still have attitudes that I show both at home and at work but since the people at home are already used to my mood swings and craziness, I don't have to hide it or control it because they will just ignore me when I'm in my monster mode...but at work, well, that's a different thing...they might be with me for a long time but still they would never put up with my crap, they're not family, and the work place is generally a place where we should be in our best behavior in order to have a harmonious working environment....

I guess not totally different but since our own home is our comfort zone, we can be the true us. In the outside world, we really have to be someone, I am not saying pretend, but have a front that we are okay, or sometimes brave so that nobody can harm us or take advantage of us.

what you see is what you get from me. Only difference is when im at home not just a friend but a mother to my son:-)

I once have that two kind of personality too.I was even afraid that I have a split personality problem.It was only change when I worked abroad because my coworkers are living in the same house.So I don't really need to have a double personality anymore because we have to interact with each other at all times,become good friends and comfortable with each others different behaviors anywhere.

Sometimes It really varies in the situation especially when you are with your family and friends that we are comfortable talking with them compared when we are in a office and we are conversing with different types of person and personality that we should be careful in dealing with them.I am not that talkative at home because I am always facing the computer but When I engaged in any conversation I love to talk and to share what I learned.

yes it naturally comes into me...i hold a different personality at home and outside...at home i am more free and donot think before i speak...outside its always good to speak less about our family,donot advice people when not asked for it and i even try to control my temper...at home if i am sad my family can make out but when i am at work nobody can get even a hint of it...it is required to be more available and mannered outside and also be courteous...

Yea.I talk much when im at home.Being with my family who ive been together since diaper days has made me comfortable, i can talk and argue with them without caring what would they think of me unlike outside of home. Once i step outside of my doorstep i change from talkative to shy and quiet person well unless if ive know the person for a long time.

I'm pretty much the same person at work as I am at home. I'm a pretty cheerful happy person who makes inappropriate jokes at either place. I'm a social person, so I do pretty well in retail most of the time. The only difference is I'm likely to apologize to someone at work(even if i think they're a jerk) than I am at home. At home I can speak my mind(usually) where as I may get fired at work.

I don't really vary much, only in the things that I will talk about. I don't work outside my house (there are very few jobs here) so I can say anything I want at "work"! And I live alone, so again I'm free to be myself. But when I'm out in public or with casual acquaintances that I don't know well enough to argue with I will not discuss politics or offer my opinions on personal matters if I'm asked. I also don't volunteer personal information myself--I don't talk about my family except in the most general terms in order to be social if the situation requires it. It's all a matter of courtesy and making people comfortable.

Online I tend to act similar to in person. For me I like to tell it how it is and that is the way I prefer to be. Now when it comes to working a job then I am way different and that is for sure. Nice thing to think about we all wear many faces this is for sure!

Yeah., I'm really different person at home and outside the home.. Because there might be factors in it. At home i'm not shy but in the work i am really shy as well as when having an interaction and explaining some different assumptions. I really behave at work but in the home, i'm not because I can freely do things in my own ways. I have an outgoing personality and I'm a talkative person when I'm outside with my close friends with me but at home. Sometimes all this varies.

Yes I am!. I tried to hide my attitude outside because I'm trying to avoid having conflicts with my friends. I tried to be nice although sometimes I am angry or short tempered. You cannot show off all the good and bad side on you. Sometimes you have to adjust yourself. You have to behave appropriately especially in front of many people. Just assess yourself on what area you need to change whether you are at home or outside.
