Bored Panda was very curious to learn about the gap between our private and public personas, so we reached out to Glenn Geher, Ph.D. He is a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz and a published author, and kindly answered our questions.

We asked Dr. Geher about why human beings tend to adjust their behavior around different groups of people and in various environments. He walked us through this.

"People definitely evolved to adjust behavior based on the nature of situations that they run into. Behavior at a wedding is usually joyful, while behavior at a funeral is typically solemn. People who are good at 'reading the room' and adjusting their behaviors based on the demands of particular situations tend to navigate the waters of the social world better than those who are low on this skill," he explained to Bored Panda.

"The field of acting seems to harness this feature of our evolved psychology—with better actors essentially being those who are particularly effective at adjusting their behaviors to conform to certain roles or situations, even if such behavior does not match their natural inclinations," he said in an email.

Considering how advantageous it appears to be behaviourally flexible, we were wondering whether it was worth bridging the gap between our private and public personas at all. According to Dr. Geher, it's important to consider our relationship with our most authentic selves here. There's a balance that needs to be found.

"While adjusting one's behavior based on situational demands is very human and often appropriate, consistently presenting oneself as very different from one's core, authentic self might be stressful for various reasons," Dr. Geher told us.

"So, while I would say that it is important for people to be able to be behaviorally flexible, being so should not come at the cost of being true to oneself. Once again, I'd say, Shakespeare was right: 'To thine own self, be true.'"

With the spread of the internet (5.45 billion global users and counting!) and the continued rise of social media (5.17 billion users worldwide), it’s easier now than ever to follow what other people are doing. This doesn’t just mean what your family, friends, and colleagues are doing.

You can, without much difficulty, constantly stay up to date with what your heroes are doing, whether they’re actors or athletes you admire, musicians who molded your taste in music, or comedians who never fail to brighten up your day. This has massively contributed to the spread of so-called parasocial relationships.

Parasocial relationships are, at their core, one-sided. They happen when one person is completely unaware of the other’s existence. Meanwhile, the latter invests a lot of their time, energy, and effort in being involved in the former’s life.

These days, parasocial relationships form between fans and celebrities, bloggers, influencers, sports teams, gamers, and TV stars. In the past, it was TV personalities who were most often the ‘targets’ of these one-sided relationships. But these stars’ interactions with their fans were far more limited and formal back then. Fast-forward to the current date and you have an incredible array of tools to interact with your followers all over the world: from social media and live streams to blog posts and in-person meetups.

Given all of this context, it’s not unusual to think that you ‘know’ a celebrity you follow as though they were a personal friend of yours. However, this is a misperception. Without sounding overly judgmental, you only get to know what they want you to know. It’s their public ‘face,’ similar to what you ‘put on’ when you go to work, meet with clients, attend fancy events, etc.

Getting to know a celebrity in person or watching some candid, in-depth, behind-the-scenes interviews can really change your relationship with them. Some fans might feel like they’ve finally ‘met’ the real, authentic star. Others might feel ‘betrayed’ that the person they’ve grown to admire for so long is only a small fragment of their personality.

My former venue was where he filmed his last netflix special. As wild and raunchy as his character and comedy his, once he was in business mode, he couldn't have been more professional, open-minded, and kind. It was truly incredible to see how well he can snap in and out of character.

One very memorable moment was when we had our initial meeting deciding if it would be at our venue or not, during sound checking he was discussing run of show, etc, someone hands him a mic to sound check and he goes from discussing business logistics with me to looking into my soul and says "Who here likes bukkake" and i obviously laughed and was caught off guard. He called me bukakke for the rest of the week.

During down time between audiences and filming I got to be around him a lot and he could not have been more friendly, and enjoyable.

10/10 would hang with him again any time.

In the 90s I was in Los Angeles with a friend and he's a starfucker. This guy thinks celebrities owe it to fans to talk and give autographs. I do not. We were at the famer's market and we noticed Jason Alexander was eating lunch with whom I assume were his sons. They were young. I turned to my friend and said, "Don't. He's having lunch with his kids. Just leave him the f**k alone." Did he? Nope. He marched right up to the table like a complete a-hole. It's not that he was a Seinfeld fan (I was not) or that he was a fan of Jason Alexander, he was just a starfucker. He walks up to his table and just bombards him. And it was embarrassing because he basically just said, "You're famous, can I have your autograph?" Jason was clearly annoyed and his kids didn't seem happy about it. So I walked up to the table, grabbed my friend's arm and yanked him away and said, "I don't care if he's the f*****g President, let the man enjoy his f*****g lunch and stop being so f*****g annoying!"

Then he introduced himself to me and he had bought a bag of apples and he gave me an apple. People have to remember that just because they're famous, they don't owe us anything and just to leave them the f**k alone if you see them with their families.

Bryan Cranston. I know he doesn't have a bad reputation but the way he can turn his acting skills on and off was a delight to watch. I was hanging out on set when he did the scene where he ransacked Jesse's house. He was ripping through things with a fierce rage so bad he made the set shake. Then when the shot was done jumped up and smiled, "How was that?" Immediately delightful and friendly and cheerful. The director had to tell him he was shaking the set and ge had to do it again and he laughed and was like, "Damn, I thought I nailed it!" Then back into cheerful friendly guy until they could reset everything and have him do it again. Another fun story is when he shot the scene where he shaved his head because of his character having cancer. He went around the set that day convincing random crew members to let him shave their head. All done in fun! At lunch that day a bunch of people showed up with shaved heads 😆 His friendship with Aaron Paul was 100% real. They are both lovely!
