And the Class : We have one personality at work, another on the phone, another with the children, still another alone with our spouse. This can become hypocrisy, if we deliberately try to deceive somebody into thinking were something were not. But usually it isnt hypocritical at all. With each set of relation- ships, we have a different history, different in-jokes, different shared experiences. We act with different motives. We do different things. Our self, then, is a kind of network, many threads connecting us to many different people, who are always shifting. We grow within any relationship that remains close; when relationships are interrupted or fade away, the self that belonged in that relationship stays the same.
