I dunno, I don't feel my behavior is somehow constrained by people who know me, such that I'd feel free to behave differently with folks who don't. Maybe when I was younger that was more the case. The older I get, the more I'm inclined to just speak my mind no matter who's listening. The older you are, the more people you've met and dealt with, and the less influence any one group of people has over you, or so I find to be the case.
