I did that when I was young because people told me that I was like that so I tried to live up to that expectation. I couldn't really sustain it past my early teens. I still fall into that pretence when I'm at my parents house. I also have a hard time knowing who I really am.
Speaking of my early teens, bad experiences from my early and mid-teens are the reason why I chose to pretend to be an extrovert in the first place. If you were a teenager who outwardly acted like an angry and socially awkward 5 year old despite having the thought processes and goals of everyone else your age, you would also want to pretend to be someone else, right? However, my extrovert act is a rather terrible one and would leave someone thinking, "How could someone screw up everything and yet be so good at shallow things like sex jokes and pop cultural references?"
