WHen i get to see my classmate before, they would say that they are not the same person at school compared to at home. They don't bring out their wacky side at home and bring it out in school. and whatever they do at school they just leave it in there. As soon they step inside their homes they don't act the same way. THey were just serious some people with responsibilities. some say what they are in school is just the same with what they are at home. I just wonder if you are the same person wherever you are or if you change to your attitude on the place you go to or don't show the real you when you are in other place. Who is the real you. Where do you show your real self. IN which place do you like to be at more. Is it in school, work or at your work.

Yes definitely. I don't like to pretend. I'm not a hypocrite.

I honestly do not think that I am the same person everywhere that I go. At home I am more calm and just basically lounge around. At work, I am very outgoing, talk a lot more and when I need to be I am very focused. At school, I dig my head into my textbooks, study my butt off and take notes on everything that is said. As you can see, the three personalities that are exhibited greatly differ based on where I am. I think that the the place where I like to be the most is at work because I am more balanced and I can work hard and I can be lighthearted as well.

I am not the same person at all. Maybe it is because my parents are kinda serious and strict when I was small and I tend to behave in front of them when I act oppositely in school. I'm not a bad girl but I'm a cheerful person who laugh loudly on jokes, do crazy stuffs with friends and I can't do it in house. When I'm home, I'm turn into a kinda quiet type of person. I think the real me is what my friends in school see and I enjoy being with them.

I do not act the same. At work I am profesionsl. I get my work done, I am friendly and I go home. At school I am a nerd. I read the assignments, do my school work, and am anoyed by people who do not try as hard as I do. At home I am a bum. If I do not have to go to school or work I stay in my PJs, I am not organized, and my home is cluttered. But all of these actions are a part of me, and they are all real reflections of who I am, I wish I could be more organized at home and more relaxed at school or more friendly to my coworkers but it is not me.

I deal people, situation, place or circumstance differently, I personally think each of us at some point acted or reacted to a circumstance in differently this is due to the environment we are in, the people we dealt with, the situation, the load of responsibilities that it takes and a whole lot of consideration that makes everything just different. I myself consider to be professional, formal and serious type when I am at work, at home, I could be talkative a lot to my familty and I simply like a kid when I am at the domain of my own house. Its also different when I am in school where I could be silent at times or being so wacky and all that. I am more of myself when I am in the home with my family who by far knows me better inside and out.

Not exactly the same. It depends on the role you take in different posts. In office, I worked as an executive secretary, doing the service and facilitating work, caring about ups and downs to help keep the gear going, and in harmony. At home, I am a doer, but more a initiator for home work to make everyone happy. I am more at ease to express and do what I wish.

Hi hotsummer...I don't think I'm a different person in different areas. I think there's a certain type of behavior which is acceptable in certain circumstances. For instance, you probably wouldn't put your feet up in a restaurant but maybe would do that in your own home. You wouldn't dress in pjs at work or school but definitely at home. I think when we're home or with friends and family we can be more relaxed and that can be construed as a different person. I think it's just a different kind of behavior.

I am quite the same way as your friend is. Different personality at school and work yet serious at home. I believe it depends on our individuality. Some feel more expressive in different environments. I think that the real you is all of them put together. You may be very appealing in one situation but be totally out of place in another. It's like putting a very talkative person in a quiet study area or a really shy person for an act.

I think I am still the same person as I was in school. Even though there are few new things i have started doing since I was working. But overall i am same person and always try to be the same friendly, helpful person who never forgets his friends. Even though he is not in touch with them.

I am the same person at work, at school and at home, where may be, I almost act like similar. I know some people would act totally different in different places, or they even act dramatically different to different people. I have seen so many people like that, he/she might be very polite to some kind of persons, and being so rude to another. I just wonder how fast and easy they can treat people in different ways.

Everyone has many sides in life.One shoule act many roles.In front of your son,you ought to be serious and show a sample to him.In front of your wife,you should exhibite your hot love.Also in front of your parents,show your filial piety is the most important thing.Just my opinion.

I am demure when I am at home because my parents are conservative but when I am out at work or with friends, I bring out my wacky side

Most of the time, I'm just myself whether I'm with families or friends. I'm typically laid-back, relaxed and sometimes funny. There are certain times, like when I just meet someone for the first time, that I'd be a bit reserved when I like to learn about him or her. Sometimes my usual funny jokes may seem offensive to sensitive people, or I might just say something that turns them off. When I want to gauge their personalities, I shut off my usual self. Once I know we can get along, that's the time I'm back to normal.

yes. quiet, smiling, tired-looking at a distance, alone. That's me. :D my sister and i likes to hang out mostly coffee shops. i act like as if i'm home. the difference sometimes is that, we can't open thing to friends but we can with family members right..? we can keep some things from family but we can discuss it with friends. it depends.. but generally, what they see is what they get.

I would say I am at home and work, but when I was in college, I was different in class than everywhere else. Most people are completely different depending on what role they are playing and what context they are in. I don't like it, but I think that's how people are. We adapt to the circumstances around us even if we deny it sometimes.

Well, I am different in those 3 places. the only people who know the real me are my friends and my sisters. I always have this other identity. I don't want showing everything about me to the crowd. I am afraid I guess.
