Answer:

Human nature

Step-by-step explanation:

In different circumstance people will act a certain way in an effort to fit in or feel as though they are valid. They might feel conflict over these identities because it's not really who they are. In their mind they know they misrepresented themselves. They don't want to be caught in a lie.

I hope that helped.
