Clever sister, that has been my experience and maybe others too. For those reading on you need to understand being raised in the local churches you learn
Soul is bad
Individuality is bad
Opinions are bad
Releasing your human spirit is good.
If one is an extrovert (and I am not) it is second nature to be expressive verbally. Those such as I who are listeners first and speakers second, in some ways end up pretending to be someone that you're not.
In regard to our soul and individuality, that's considered "the old man". In order to conform to the groupthink, one ends up creating a mask for the meeting life. Around family and friends, you're just as you are. Without any peer pressures and without any expectations.
