I just don't understand why some people feel the need to edit their personality in the company of others. Granted, some behavioral instincts must be contained (i.e. my desire to scream expletives at random strangers who annoy me on the street, in passing cars, restaurants, my place of business etc.). But why shouldn't I have five glasses of wine at a family dinner? Sue me, I'm Irish. I just don't see the need to tone down my personality outside of the situations in which I absolutely must.
I was raised by a Catholic and a Southern Baptist. Haven't I suffered enough? I'm done with the guilt and the repression.
