Public vs Private Persona?

I’ve never understood changing personalities to match situations.  No, I’m not talking about having situational tact, but rather about presenting one face to the world and another to your family.  Is there a bonus in an author, or anyone in the public limelight, to show the public one face and hide their more private one?  It sounds exhausting to me, as well as a little dishonest.  I get the need for privacy, but to me that just means not revealing certain details as opposed to being bombastic in front of crowds and shy in front of friends(or vice versa).  Is this something anyone else thinks about, or am I just a total dork?
