"Can I tell you something without being offended?", she said. It was the way every potentially offensive question I have been asked began. In a believable tone (or what I think believable sounds like), I said, "Of course".

What she asked me next was not so much a question as it was a fact about myself... a fact that I had realized a few days earlier. She stated how she notices how I act different when Friend X is around. I agreed. I nervously laughed as I explained how I discussed this situation Friend X during a car ride,,, how I change to the people I am around.

"Well, that's normal, but you take it to the extreme... the next level."

I guess I do.
