I think it's a very real and human trait to act a certain way in front of certain people, rather than to act true to how we really are. That's part of becoming a human, to deny our animal nature, and behave in a certain way because society rewards it.

No. Even a person who is phony part of the time would not be phony 25% of their life. Depending on how carefully you define phony, 1 out of 4 are not phony.
If you say that any person who ever misleads is a phony then 90% are phony by that definition.
Phony I presume you mean is when a person presents themselves consistently to be something they are not.

I'd say it's a lot more than that. But I think it's situationally dependent. For instance, I put on a very nice mask while I'm at the job I hate. Every time I let little comments go (the real me), my boss looks at me like she thinks hiring me was a major mistake. (She's probably right.)
At home, I'm me. That's about the only place it happens.

I try to make it obvious when I'm not giving a straight answer, but sometimes sarcasm is just beyond some people's ability to comprehend, so in my case yes, but not intentionally.
