//How do you act, speak, or dress differently according to which group you are with or whom you are around? Why do you make these adjustments? Do you think it is hypocritical or false to make such changes? Why or why not? Which is the real you?

I act and speak a little differently around groups of people. For example, I may be a little more comfortable saying things around my friends as opposed to my parents. I may also act a bit more chilled out or worry less about how serious I am around my friends. Though these are very minor changes, I don't change my personality or act dramatically different around these groups of people. If you hung around me for a long time you may not notice this change as it is that insignificant. The only reason I make this adjustment is that my family wouldn't like the me I am when I hang around my friends as much. // To make a dramatic change around different groups of people shows that you are not truly comfortable about who you are. These minor changes I make are not very significant, as I am very comfortable with the person who I am. And just because I make these changes doesn't mean that how I am around one group is false. They are both very similar and both show the real me. I'm not a totally new person around different people because I like who I am, and more importantly I'm proud of who I am. If other people don't like that, well I really could care less.
