Not intentionally, but I get shy around friends I only hang about with say once or twice a month but they're still friends. Otherwise I'm a hyper wierdo around the friends I'm comfortable with which is about 90% of them anyways.

I think it happens, whether people want it to or not.

I hang out with pretty much every different group and wind up acting slightly different.

For example, around my darker friends, I'd talk about scary movies whereas, when I'm with my lighter friends, I'd talk about chick flicks and musicals.

Then again, all my friends know who I am and who I'm not. I won't change myself for someone to please them.

To a certain extent, you should change the way you behave around certain people, but not to the point of suppressing your personality. Being loud and crazy is a good part of you, a fun part that you shouldn't have to hide just because your friend is easily embarrassed. If she actually finds it annoying, that's a different thing-- no point in intentionally irritating her-- but you might consider toning it down based on appropriateness.

Can't start thinking or acting a certain way just because your friends do; you should be able to handle one another's differences.

I never change who I am. I act the same regardless of who I'm around. If it's someone I've never met before it takes me a bit to warm up to them, but once I do I'm my typical odd s'elf. I also know boundaries around certain people...some people can't take the harsh sarcasm and playful joking/pranking that I'm capable of dishing out.

I'm also pretty blunt when it comes to telling people how it is. I usually always speak my mind in those cases, unless I find it more harmful to the situation at hand.

Yes, you could say that I "change" myself for the different people I talk to. It usually depends on how close I am to that person and also with the interests of that person.

I don't change for anyone, really. Though this is a thing that has only started sometime in the last...six to eight months. o.o
Before that, I would shut myself away and become extremely shy and anti-social to anyone who was not my family or a close friend.
That is not the case now though. ^^ I act just as wild and crazy around complete strangers as I act around my own mother. Its a sign that I'm happy.
Does it bother me when people give me disapproving looks? Not really. I mean, they would have had to break through my fake self sometime, if I had been using it. They wouldn't like me then either. xD What's the point of wasting all that time and effort trying to get someone to like you if the way you act around them is a total lie anyway?
Best to just be yourself, and be friends with people who like you for who you truly are. :yes:

I tend to be the same no matter who i'm with.

Im friendly, im more of a listener than a speaker.

i think the only difference with me is if i'm with my best friend or just general friends, because if i'm with my best friend i really am myself...i tell him everything on my mind and just let go, with general friends its more just joining in on whatever they're talking about xD

but generally, i've never really changed, and i hope i never do, apart from my confidence, that DOES need to change xD

I'm the same no matter who I'm with. I fail to see the point in acting in a way that isn't 100% me.

I tend to be the same.
But sometimes being with a new person may bring out a new trait in me that I didn't know of before.

well of course I "change" a littl bit when I'm with different people.. >.< I mean, I cannot talk right with my grandma or other relatives. I also have to keep my mouth shut about certain things around them.. :roll:

and with my sister, I'm kinda annoyed. I don't like her, but I can't tell her that..... >.<

my newest friend, I get along with her just great, and I can just about be myself around her, but sometimes I can't stand her when I'm sober... xD sometimes she's just such a dimwit. but she's fun.

the only person I can truly be myself is with my hubby :3 he accepts me the way I am and doesn't think I'm a crazy person when I start acting like an animal.. .xD

I admit that I used to change how I acted completely around different groups of people, but I'd never make a fool out of my friends. If anyone ever talked trash about a friend of mine, I'd stick up for them. =3

Now I'm always myself though. XD I don't really care what people think of me, because I have a big group of friends who are all weirdos just like me :3 and I don't really need to live up to anyone else.

I tend to like to be myself with my friends, but sometimes I don't notice it, and I change my likes and dislikes for my friends. >.>

Hmm, yeah, I do kinda change depending on who I'm with. If I'm with my study buddies, I tend to talk like an intellectual being, when I'm hanging out with my best friends, I act crazy and...Like myselff, and when I'm with people I dont know/very well I'm usually quiet and withdrawn. But with my family, I'm at my craziest...Which is weird...xD

I don't normally care what people think. I do my own stuff. If I want to be quiet, I will. If I won't to be loud and obnoxious, then I will, which I normally am. haha. I just could careless about people's thoughts because if they are thinking about me in a negative or a positive way, they have me on their mind.

Yes all the time...

My idea to gaining popularity which works very well is watch the group (clique) for a while

learn what they like dislike

then go act exactly like them

for about 2 days repeat this

then slowly start voicing your real opinions...

after about 4 days total they know who you really are respect your thoughts and respect the other groups of REAL friends you have

I'm normally the same old me, 99.9% of the time. Alot of people find me not very fun though, I don't like making scenes and stuff. I don't adapt unless it's needed. (Note the .1%) Like not saying cuss words, or talking quieter because I'm somewere fancy.

I have to admit I do act differently when with different groups of people. I'm more polite with my family for starters. I am professional with my boss, and sugary when serving customers. With RP partners I tend to act cautiously happy, and with close friends I act a little mean and vulgar.

It is really all a matter of trust, and how well I know someone. I don't really care what complete strangers think of me. On lookers may be offended if I'm with a close friend and making sex jokes, but that doesn't mean I'm going to censor myself if I'm comfortable enough.

Of course I change.
I won't curse in front of my Mormon friend.
I won't tell sex jokes in front of my future pastor friend.
I won't talk about the cute boy down the street to my father
=]
It's not a lot of change. I don't go from goth to preppy (just to put labels to it) around different people, but I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable to be around me. ^^;

I'm generally a very assertive person and I have the tendency to fight back at the little things so changing is a way of keeping the acquaintances. If I felt that I had to change to keep my close friends then they wouldn't be close enough to know me for who I really am. :sweat:

I don't change when I am around certain people. I think simply if they cant take me at my worst then they can have me at my best. My friends like me for who I am. As I them. You should not have to change. Your friends if their true will take you how you are.
