In this article the author pitches that everyone has different sides to themselves. I strongly agree with this, because each person has more than one side to them and it can be affected by mood, environment, or people. From personal experience I can say I act differently with certain people, it just depends on how I feel when I am with them. When we feel more at ease with a person we are less likely to be someone else. When we are comfortable with someone we will feel like we can truly be ourselves. Some people feel as if they have to alter or filter who they are based on their surroundings. The article suggests we act this way for control or maybe even for the feeling of acceptance. People can easily feel intimidated and manipulated so they come off as something they're not. I feel like this shouldn't be a result however, I can understand and relate to why some people result to this. The author even uses metaphors to convey that we might settle for some discomfort in order to get what we want.
