Lots of people feel that if you can turn on and off aspects of your personality like a switch?

... you're eitjer not to be trusted or otherwise shifty. Why is that?
You'd think that's just a healthy way to be, to be different things at the times that suit it. There seems to be this idea in life that we're supposed to be consistent at all times, and it's a pipe dream.

Anyone is capable of this - we wear masks in various situations. Your mind/brain/psyche will do what it must do to protect itself. Regardless of how it comes off to others, your personality is not constant

@Jouskan47 Very true, however society tells us that a normal person is consistent and that it's a bad thing to be otherwise. Just another way in which we're fooling ourselves.

@ItsABlueWorld society has many definitions of normality - which is an illusion. List the traits of someone that is 'normal' and you will describe some kind of personality disorder
