This is how I work to be honest. I let them come out in therapy relationships and on PC. Maybe I can't help from them coming out in those settings. Maybe they are only under control in my daily life because I don't let anyone close enough to me to see them. But that's not true because with my real best friends, I actually have a healthy secure attachment.
