why do people alway act different around people?

Its a question of fitting in and to make people like them. Or to hide themselves because they dont people getting to close or figuring out exactly who they are

May be that some people have a bit of differences and therefore tend to get nervous and out of control!?

When people wear certain types of clothing people judge them.  In response that person's behavior changes due to the way others treat them.

I think it's because people are basically egocentric.  Also self-preservation is rather high on the list of the instincts.

I wish I knew the answer to this myself. I grew up in the 70's and it was soooo different. It seems as if everybody today is in such a hurry, they disregard the feeling of other people. So many people treat others as if they are an object, simply in the way. It seems as if material things are what is important. Like if you accidentally pull out in front of somebody, their first inclination is to start cursing and flipping you off. they dont stop and think of the times, THEY pulled out in front of somebody. I think the whole friggin world needs to slow down and take a deep breath.

Because if you are like me, when I'm around people I don't seem to fit in.  I am not very sociable mainly because I am shy.  I am not not good with small talk.  When I am home I am not under all the pressure of trying to fit in and be sociable.

becasue some people may try to just please everybody and try to fit in with others, \nit's obvious that they are insecure and not comfortable being theirselves

People tend to hide the parts of themselves that they do not like or do not wish to deal with.  Friends allow us to be open and get feedback on our version of reality.  Most peoblems with others usually start by miscommunication.  Friends also allow us to practice communicating, verbally and otherwise.

By realizing they are people too, and chances are that some of them are nervous or shy about talking to you.  It's okay to be shy, we like to open up surprises :)

I dont know it seems as though some people no matter who they are think of other people as something different.  No one seems to take the time anymore to think about how others live and I think thats what you are getting at?

One of the simpler reasons is personal choice. The majority of people prefer to associate with people that are similar to them. This is basic group dynamics. We gravitate toward people with whom we have common interests.

People will not always agree on certain things because they see things differently from each other.

I think that the reason why they do it, is to make themselves feel better. But really in the end they just make themselves look like jerks. Dont be afraid to stand out, its always better to make your own path than to follow others.

the same reason that some white, asian, chinese, jewish, mexican, puertorican, russian, ect. people act like porch monkeys, make a spectacle of themselves and irritate other people.  they either want attention, are "special", or are just immature.  a person will act a "jackass" regardless of their race, color or ethnicity.  think!!!!

I think sometimes they are defensive to a point of irrationality.  My guess is that it's not  on purpose but rather it's become a habit!  I think that when you feel different you are different...usually because you want to break the patterns that annoy you about you!

A lot of times yes. Or insecurity. They are not sure of themselves, so they have to create a big scene or just act an azz so that they feel better about themselves, or so that they will appear a certain way in other people's eyes.  And its a shame cuz usually people can see right through them.

For me, someone is a snob when he/she clearly knows that I am there but refuses to acknowledge my presence.  It's a bit different from people who are just shy.  There are shy people who also don't feel comfortable around people they don't know but they at least smile or say a quick hello.  The snobs exude an air of superiority -- like, "Sure, I know you're there.  But who cares?  I won't even bother to smile or talk to you."
