To be completely honest, the lack of depth is the reason most social butterflies choose to be social butterflies!
I speak from experience on that one.
When I'm all manic and outgoing, I LOVE LOVE LOVE being around other people, all the time. I can be the life of a party and extremely entertaining. I joke excessively with others at work, and that usually gets me in trouble - I've had written disciplinary action more than once for "being too social."
Anyhow, the point of me posting this was just to make the point that (for me, anyhow) the whole social butterfly thing is just another way to hide the pain. (And heck yah, it can get painful being manic, for sure, and then comes that crash with a whole new kind of pain.)
Sorry if I seem down, pessimistic or cynical right now. I'm seeing my doc today at one and explaining everything to him for the first time and let him in on the "sneaking suspicion" that I might be BP.
