Well, your questionable choice of terminology aside, it is actually normal to have different speech patterns around different individuals and groups. There are many reasons behind the changes, and can be dependent on relationships, class, culture, and profession. The most notable difference is not only the tone of voice, but the change of phrasing and vocabulary. Linguists even have a term for it, it's called "code-switching!" So no worries, it's normal!
However, if you are uncomfortable with the difference, it may help to pinpoint the reasoning behind it- and whether it's really of help to you to make that switch.
