I am an actor and whenever I am around actors in an acting class or acting situation, I seem to have to be my theatre self..a version of me that into theatre and acting in order to really relate to everyone and get along with them, instead of just being me..which is somewhere in the middle.
however, while I'm in my improv class, I seem to just be myself but one that enjoys doing good improv and good comedy.
what does that mean?

Acting is very competitive and working actors tend to form cliques with strong social rules. Improvising is (or should be) about inclusion, acceptance and collaboration. It sounds like you're improv class is spot on and gives you a space where you can enjoy being yourself.

I like to think that, when the risks/stakes are low, most of choose to make a difference and get noticed, because all of us need recognition & love like everything does...
But when the risks/stakes are high we choose to be like everyone else and suffer/rejoice with everyone else..
Exactly how an individual in a society measures the risk in an endeavour is determined by many factors, most of which can be attributed to the social fabric.
But all of this just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Maybe you feel the pressure of people's eyes on you. Many people enjoy the spotlight and like to perform their best according to the viewers' standards. Improv is mostly about yourself, that involves your knowledge, and (hopefully;)) isn't scripted, so that your personality shows in that through your.

It means you are like most of the rest of us. We all have different faces, or sides, that we show to different people or groups. We are all different in different situations.
