That's pretty much exactly what I was getting at, you're just wording it in a different way.
My meaning of 'true personality' is one which he simply doesn't express in public. His private personality if you will. He undoubtedly seemed to act strange in many of the interviews I'd seen of him, almost like he was nervous and not really good with people. Like I said, he seemed to try too hard to be the funny man, maybe because he was self conscious or thought he had to be funny constantly. I'm only speculating, none of us are professional psychologists and really know for sure what's going on in his head.
I think everyone has a pubic and private persona. But it goes further when we talk about the non depressive and depressed personality. The pubic man was funny. Funny and good with people aren't exactly the same. But yes I'm sure we didn't know the everyday Robin Williams. You'd have to know him personally to know that man. No one professional or otherwise except Robin knew what was going on in his head.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
