"Double Life"

Why is it that we all have different aspects of ourselves that we only put in to practice and talk about with certain people? I myself can think of 3 different personalities if you will that I have. Around my general group of school mates I am just me. A ranting, swearing, opinionated idiot. To some of my other friends I am more myself. I feel calmer around them as I share a common aspect of myself with them. As this aspect is vital to me being me I am obviously different when I am forced to keep it under wraps if you will. Finally I have another personality that comes out to very few people which is the personality I have that pushes me to being who I want to be in the future. It is a personality based upon the future I want for myself. I base my performance now on what I want to be like in the future but that is a personality that very few people have seen. My question to you is though, why do we have all these other lives? Why do we act differently for different people? Surely if you are secure with yourself then you don't have the problem, it's their problem and they should just deal with it. Any comments welcome...

Mixing with different groups of people brings out differing aspects of your personality but they are all parts that make up the whole you.
