Is it bad to change yourself around other people?

Like, how confident you are.



Not what your interests are, or how you'd react to someone being mean.



But how chatty you are.Is it bad to change yourself around other people?
You should be yourself with everyone....Is it bad to change yourself around other people?
It sounds like you are shy, not bad.
I don't think so because i have always been that way i just tell the people that im shy
uhhh you obviously need to add more detail like around what age you are and all...but in GENERAL it's pretty much fine
Its called mirroring and its a form of flattery, and if used well, can make just about anyone like you.
yes i change all the time.... when im with my friends i dont care i just joke around and everything but if theres someone i dont know or ppl i dont know then i just become shy and not talk or i become really serious.... i am trying to change that though.... XD
i am what i am
While it is always better to be yourself in every situation, the reality is that it also has a down side. How you speak to parents differs from how you'd speak to your manager at work (at least if u want to keep ur job).



There are so many avenues to take this argument to but my thought is that you have to make a few alterations to suit the situation at hand.
my best friend use to do this and its really annoying to watch, u should be urself people will like u for who u are. i always say why try to be orr act like something your not



JUST BE YOURSELF, your tryin 2 cover up ur weakness and shyness by been overly confident
i think you're shy, like me. i feel chatty around some ppl, and intensely shy around others, esp if i think they're cute. most times i just dont know what to say..



try to be less shy; ill bet ppl would like us much more if we could be ourselves around them! even if you say something a bit random, at least you're saying something that could encourage conversation.
Behaving differently in accordance with different social situations is entirely normal, adjusting how chatty you are and confident around people means that you are conscientious, not fickle or hypocritical.
For some reason, how chatty I am depends on who I am with. If I'm with close friends, I'm not as afraid to be chatty. If I'm with people I just hang out with because I know them, I'm sometimes afraid that they might talk behind my back. It's not bad to change how confident you are. I should really be more confident around everyone. It's good to be confident and have self-esteem. Sometimes it's good to be chatty, just don't abuse it. If you're shy, try to build your confidence. Be yourself at the same time!

It's only bad if it affects what you think about yourself. It's called being a social chameleon. It allows you to blend in and absorb and enjoy the people around you. Its an extraordinary quality to have, as long as it still reflects the true you and you don't feel out of your comfort zone.

How do I know this. Well, I find in certain situations Im confident, I take charge, Or I'm blending in, other situations I am shy. I have found I can't transfer my confident skills into the situation where I am normally shy. So I've been looking into it and was surprised to find, it has a name - Social Chameleon. You please the people around you and are capable of interacting with vast array of people. It is important you don't fall into a pattern where you can't increase your confidence in some situations, and continue to muck up your words.

How to fix...... When talking in another group where you are chatty - set yourself 2-3subjects that you will talk to them about. Ok, and do it, chat, let it flow. When you meet with people who make you feel not so confident, follow the same pattern of 2-3 subjects and try to convey them in the same way. See, you've already spoken about this stuff, in a way you've 'practised' it. So see if you can repeat the experience and transfer it over to make you more confident and chatty where needed.

Do remember, being a social chameleon is a valuable attribute, make sure it works for you.
its bad to change yourself round others, cause how will they no who u really are ! ? if someone doesn't like you its their problem
Yes it is.. you should just be yourself and not try to be like everyone else to fit in. If you don't express who u r to everyone else.. how will they know the real you? I used to do the same thing but I learned that if they don't like who you are, then they're not worth talking to. It's worked for me so far b/c mostly everyone accepts me for me, and that's what you want! Hope this helped...
