No, i just though you had something specific in mind when you said you acted different around other people. Of course I won't talk drugs with my parents but other stuff is more unconscious.

As an example, I noticed that when I speak french with my french friends, I have a French accent. When I speak with people from Quebec I have more of a Quebecois accent. They were always very separate areas of my life and i never noticed until I hung out in a more mixed group and started talking very weird.

I think you should give people the benefit of the doubt or account for misunderstandings (which I think is what happened here) before jumping to the conclusion we are either all idiots or attacking you.
