Why you feel different around others than when you're alone
Why is the you around other people different from the you when you’re alone? Neither one is the fake: they are your social self and your private self, and both are real.

The you that shows up around other people and the you when you're alone are more different than you might think.
Social self and private self
The side you show the outside world is your social self; the side that emerges when you're alone is your private self.
- Social self: the you that's been shaped within your relationships
- Private self: the honest you when you're on your own
The two being different doesn't make either one fake. Both are a real part of who you are.
