Who is the real me?

It occurred to me today, when a local politician came by to solicit my vote, that I react differently to people who knock on my door.

With this politician, I was civil, suspicious, probably rather cold.

When my son or any other relative comes to visit, I'm happy, excited and full of joy.

When I'm with the town gossip, I find myself leaning in and listening with an avid ear. I don't always repeat what I hear, but occasionally I do find myself to be the gossiper.

When I'm with an elderly person, I tend to be more gentle, more patient, kinder even.

If its a neighbor in trouble knocking at the door, I seem to be empathetic and take on the worry of the neighbor.

The postman almost always brings a smile to my face...I like getting mail...even the bills that come monthly. Dunno why...I just do.

If its a salesperson or a religious zealot, I am very curt, polite, but very curt.

Is that the way most people are? Or do I have a major case of split personality?
