Why are we who we are? Have you ever tried to be someone else? Like make a whole new persona that you wanted to be? No matter how hard we may try we can't escape who we truly are. The person that we were created to be. We can be a better version of ourselves but nevertheless we will always be who we are. A lot of people try to escape reality but being someone they aren't and it's not exactly a lie as it is more of a dream like state. A fantasy realm so to speak. Many people will create their own little worlds so that they can escape from the troubles in their lives. It's more or less a coping mechanism for many people. Most people have different versions of themselves depending who they are around. For instance you may act differently in front of your friends that your family or in front of strangers or people you just don't know that well. Sometimes it may take awhile for you to be comfortable to show you true self. Whether it be your likes or dislikes or something as simple as being able to talk at all to someone.
In the world today the way people act at home vs. school or work or even just being in public can vary extremely from one another. The may seem quiet and reserved in public and yet be loud and crazy at home. People deal with social situations in different ways. Sometimes people have to even be different at home depending on their situations. Maybe work or school is the only place they can be themselves, maybe only with certain people do they feel comfortable enough to be who they are. Sometimes not even then can they express themselves. Maybe they are looking for a different outlet to be who they are. It's similar to acting, when you are in certain situations who become a character that is the opposite of who they really are. Maybe that's where they can be themselves. Moral of the story is don't judge people if they act differently around random situations. Unless you get to know them enough to where they are comfortable with being themselves then they will always be a version that they have created because that is a defense or default mechanism. Be patient and kind always for we never truly know what a person is feeling or going through.
