This is hard to explain, but for example you were walking down the street with a friend and your friend was accosted by a drugged up ho, who thot she'd been staring at her.
Now being the protective type and way more comfortable with street stuff than your friend, you get between them and tell your friend to run off and get help while you deal with the lady. Now this is the thing,
When you were with your friend you were in 'friend mode', to deal with the ho, you go into 'street mode'. Now these two personnas are VERY different, but you bring up what you need at the time. These are 'modes', I'm not looking at emotions but modes.
Is that whateverybody does? Or do some have stronger modes than other, or more different ones??
I'm not even sure what I'm getting at here. Or how to explain it at least.
By the way I got nothing against ho's. One of my cronies was involed a bit when we were teens. She was a very nice girl.
I better quit while I behind,
Muffled.

i can't answer for others but i have them. i just call them "personas". there's the work/professional one who's strong, good at what she does, confident and well worded. there's the 'street' me who's strong and protective, there's the 'friend' one like you mentioned, usually giving what the friend needs laughter, comfort or other. then last but not least, the 'real' me. the one that loves to be alone, loves libraries and art, the one that's dark.

I have many different 'modes' too. Predominantly they are 'professional', 'with friends' and 'alone' but there are lots of others which are used less frequently. I can switch from one to the other pretty quickly if needed.
