Below responses aren't getting the meme, at least as I understand it.
I have different groups of friends that I do different activities with. One particular group are mostly ex colleagues (some of them were my staff), so while we catch up and drink and talk about the old days, politics, our industry etc - they're not people who have heard me talk about sex, or make really poor taste jokes about religion etc. They've never seen me high, or dance on a table etc. Wrong crowd.
That 'personality' is the one my friends dating back to highschool know. They don't know me as a person with views on industrial relations reform or climate change action. They know me as someone who'll make a dirty joke, drag them on stage to do karaoke, and who'll want 3 bloody Mary's for breakfast on holidays.
That's what it means by personality. If I started showing either group a different side , it would feel weird to those people. That's what this meme means. It's not as deep as hiding who you are. It's a meme.
