I find I am moderating what I say, putting on different coats, different hats, different shoes all day long. It is a largely instinctive exersize that I'm really quite comfortable with. I don't think of it as not being myself, as I don't lie or pretend to be someone I am not...it's just that I have thoughts and opinions that I know are sometimes better left to myself and those that I feel comfortable expressing them with. Still, I usually manage to come off to most people as being a bit eccentric. That's good enough for me.
