//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 don't dress differently but I might around different people but I might act and speak differently. I find this especially true when I consider how I act while around my family compared to how I act around my friends. While with my family I am rather quite and a more toned-down version of how I act while around friends which is much more crazy and energetic. I believe people naturally make these adjustments to fit in and be normal in any given situation. I do not believe that it hypocritical of me to make these changes as they just seem to be the natural adjust anyone would make. It is not going against any of my beliefs or contradicting myself in any way, just minor adjust to be able to stay normal in any situation. It would only become hypocritical or false if the adjustments I made weren't just toning down elements of my personality, but making serious changes to my personality. I believe the real me is the me when I am around my friends, as I open up the most then and really let the true me shine.
