REAL DECODES
Public vs. private, decoded.
Just a bit more reserved publicly
Often normalMany people dial down PDA and softness around their crew. A small shift isn't a red flag — a total personality change is.
He performs or shows off
Ego modeSome guys swap sincerity for status around friends. It's usually insecurity, not a verdict on you — but it's worth naming if it stings.
He pretends you're just friends
Red flagActively downplaying your connection in public, when you're more than that privately, is a sign worth taking seriously.

FAQ
More about him acting different.
Why is he different around his friends?
Often it's social self-consciousness or not being ready to claim you publicly. A small shift is normal; pretending you're nothing isn't. DearHim helps you tell which version you're seeing.
Should I bring it up?
If the gap hurts, yes — calmly. 'I notice you're different when your friends are around' opens it without attacking. I can help you word it.
Is it a red flag?
It becomes one when he actively hides or downplays you. Being slightly more reserved publicly is common and usually harmless.
Is this really free?
Yes — decoding takes about 5 seconds with no signup. You only make an account if you want me to remember the context.
