    Why can’t people be themselves, no matter whom they’re around? Good question, but, in fact, almost a meaningless one. We ARE different in the presence of others. No doubt, your boyfriend is a different person around his mother, around you, and alone. I doubt it’s just when he’s around his buddies that he’s different. No doubt, you’re different around him than when around girlfriends, or parents, or at work, or at school. In fact, others help make us who we are! I think there’s a different subtext to your message, though. Given the above, why is it that, when in the presence of you and someone else, the behavior associated with that other person displaces the behavior associated with you? Or is it always that way? For example, when he’s with you, and buddies appear, does he seem to become a different person? By the same token, when he’s with buddies, and you appear, does he appear to them to become a different person? Is it possible that he’s trying to be a little of both? There’s much more here than meets the eye.
