Do this all the time. Feels like I’m almost a different person around some friends than others. I don’t know.. maybe it’s like.. we form ourselves temporarily into what seems like the right shape for the relationship, and go on to do that again somewhere else. I don’t find it tiresome, but I do find it frustrating sometimes when it seems like the person wouldn’t be interested in talking to my other shapes. Especially the shapes that love bitcoin 😂
But I think you’re 100% right. What if I don’t like the version of person they are around me very much… but if I were a different version of myself around them more they’d adapt (and maybe even feel liberated) and we’d be better friends?!
