Is it normal that i am a different person when im alone?

To everyone i know, i am extremely happy and always have a smile on my face. As soon as i am left alone my happiness plummets. I start doubting that ill ever be happy again. I want to tell the people im close to but i just cant. It just wont come out. I had a friend tell me recently that they have been my friend for a very long time yet they dont know anything about me.
Is it normal to be this closed off from everyone?

    Alone sucks and yet I hate people.

    I have a similar situation except I am always serious and not very social around people and when I am alone I feel happier because I don't have to anything I don't want to, I don't have to conform. But then other times I feel incredibly sad when I'm alone because I know I have to go back to routine the next day and do what I hate doing. :/

    I too have a similar situation. Sometimes i love the solitude and other times i just despise the loneliness. Yes Outside I've many friends. But i don't let them get close. Although you are willing to share with others I'm not willing to. Because later i always feel its a big mistake. And sometimes it did turn out to be a big mistake.

    You may want to look in to getting treated for depression. I was the same way before
