You aren't crazy. You aren't hypocritical.
You are different in different situations. Your personality can and does change.
Do you find you have patience with your kids, but not your partner?
You exercise self control with spending money, but not so much candy?
You are on time for appointment, but not when meeting up with friends?
We don't always have to universally label people, yourself and personalities. You are multifaceted.
The fact that humans act differently in different situations also presents a challenge. Simply because someone acts one way doesn't mean they will ALWAYS act that way.
You're looking to hire a babysitter and you know the girl down the street gets grate grades and is super responsible at school, but that doesn't not fully predict how she will be around your kids in your house.
This raises issues in everyday life because as humans we look for continuity and you say, "well they're one way here and another there...who are they, really???"
Really, who they are and who you are is YOU. And you are different depending on the context you are in.
