At this age, I completely understand how being around different people brings out different aspects of your personality. I think that’s completely normal.
What I don’t understand are those people who let one of those aspects ‘become’ who they are, when it’s really not. They turn into this carbon copy of the people they’re around the most.
I just don’t get that.
For instance, I’ll admit that consistently being around tattooed and pierced people makes me feel more inclined to go out and follow that desire in me, but when it comes down to it, I know more often than not I’d want my tattoos to be concealable.
I don’t really know where I’m going with this. I was talking with someone whom I know tends to absorb personalities and it just irks me.
They’re so predictable with it that I can guess what’s new in their life just by asking who they’ve been hanging out with lately.
Of course, this is a predictable person anyway….I knew exactly what topic to bring up to find an abrupt end to our chat. That part just amused me to no end. It was completely open-ended and called for a response, but none ever came, just as I knew it wouldn’t!
Where I once could be friends with this person, I just have no interest in them with their unoriginal personality.
Why is it so hard to let a little of yourself shine through?
