An excellent point

Pretty much everyone I know does this to some degree, not just young people and baby boomers. Have you never been in a heated discussion with someone when the phone rings, and one of you (whoever answers it) goes from angry to neutral (or cheery) in the snap of a finger? That's playing a role. That's not who you are at that moment - and yet doing so is not 'sad', it's polite.
There's no matrix involved.
Notions of politeness and manners, ideas which govern how you should behave, are internalized expressions of the system's power over you. We don't live under a totalitarian dictator, so that power comes not from a single source, but an amalgamation of many things comprising the system.
It's involved I think.
