Your volume, energy and expressiveness can change completely between settings. At work you barely speak; back in a familiar space, the stories, jokes and noise all come rushing out.
- being known as reserved by colleagues and famously loud by your family
- saying almost nothing at a gathering, then talking nonstop in the car home
- keeping every reaction small at school and bursting into chatter at home
- watching work friends look surprised when they meet you in your own space
Looks vs reality
The same Experience can look very different from the outside than it feels on the inside.

Is running on 1% battery and a prayer.
Is just a naturally quiet or reserved person.
Is actively suppressing a tidal wave of thoughts, feelings, and impulses.
Seems inconsistent or even 'two-faced'.
Is strategically adapting to survive drastically different environments.
Seems distant or aloof at work.
Is conserving every drop of social energy for safe people and spaces.
