Is it normal if i feel like two different people with these two guys?

I get so irritated when it comes to my bf right now. I feel like if he were to see who I was with my ex, he would love me. I mean that is why he hit on me was cause the person I was when he met me, I was fresh off my last relationship. But idk why I feel like a different person with him as opposed to with my ex. Then again, they are two different people...or are they? I'm starting to find out that my bf is interested in about the same things as my ex except more with an edge and different style and taste. My ex and I didn't have much in common. He was a little conservative while I was more outgoing. My bf now is more outgoing kind of on my level but now I'm discovering he does share some of the same qualities as my ex but like I said, he's more edgy and I love that. However, he brings out this side in me I don't like. I feel more shut down with him than with my ex when with my ex, I was more out there which is I think what my bf is looking for in me. I'm like "I am who you want me to be but for some reason its not in me when Im with you idk why! don't leave me!" lol. I think its just intimidation. I am intimidated by my bf and I wish he can see who I am with my ex cause I know he will just be reminded why he liked me in the first place.
