I find myself doing this as well, but I'm not comfortable with it and it's not being myself. Even with all the moderating I do, things better left unsaid still come out. I also fear that everything that I am not saying shows all over my face, and therefore am I really hiding anything by not saying what it is I am thinking? So I spend all my time thinking about what I should or should not have said. It's not much fun.
