My aunt once told me that alcoholics can quit drinking for a while if that's what it takes to get what they want. I think the same thing applies to the kind of behavior you're talking about. Anyone can do anything--for a while. But, sooner or later, the true person comes through.

I can put on an act for short term gratification, but short term gratification is no longer what I want. I want the real thing, and that requires being real. Not easy, but worth it.
