I guess this is fairly "obvious", but I agree with that; I am funny, fun, jovial around people I am comfortable with, but I turn really introspective, brooding, and moody around those who I would *like* to be comfortable with, but are *not*...
I think this is mostly a defensive shield; I am afraid that if I let myself be too comfortable then they will see something they don't like about me, and I cannot get closer to them.
But then again, if you don't let your shield down, you can't get closer to them in the first place..
Catch-22.. I've been trying to let loose and just be myself, especially around those who I want to be comfortable around but am not just yet..
