Does anyone else do that?  Consciously construct separate personas for separate environments?  I know that it is normal for people to act differently in different situations, but I wonder if perhaps what I do is going a bit further, at one point I even named them.


Yes, I do that all the time, I have to.  I mainly do it to try and seem as polite and nice as possible, so maybe I can get less people hating me and more people being neutral towards, or even liking me (wow, that's getting ambitious!).  I basically become a different person for different people, depending on how I judge they'll react to me.  Years of experience have shown me that being myself to everyone just doesn't work, at all.

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
