“When I'm performing I'm an extrovert, yet inside I'm a completely different man.”

Simplified Meaning:

Some people act very confident and outgoing when they're in front of an audience or group, but inside they feel shy and reserved. For example, think about an actor who loves being on stage. They can sing, dance, and make people laugh. However, when they're not performing, they might prefer spending time alone, reading a book, or hanging out with a close friend rather than going to a big party. This behavior isn't unusual; many people show one side of themselves in public and keep another side private. It's like wearing a mask for others to see, while their true feelings and personality stay hidden. This can be applied to anyone who feels nervous about social situations. They can 'act' more extroverted when needed, but also know it’s okay to be quiet and recharge when alone. By understanding and managing these different sides, a person can handle social events better while not feeling bad about needing some quiet time.
