"It was easy for you, as a civilized man, to behave like a barbarian, but impossible for him, as a barbarian, to behave like a civilized man." - Spock in the Star Trek episode about an alternative universes where an evil Kirk and a good Kirk were forced to change home realities.
People sometimes find it impossible to harness their true selves, to "flip their behaviour" as you say. They eventually return to who they really are, in spite of their best efforts. They can't help it.
