Is this personality trait a good or a bad trait?

Question

I have an "absorbent" personality.

My personality becomes different depending on who I'm with--well, at least I act different around different people. Usually, I absorb their personalities, or try to make my personality fit to something they would appreciate more. Is that a good or a bad trait?

Answer 1

It's bad. Because you are never you're own person and will seldom if ever hold true to your own set of values.

Answer 2

it's normal, most people do it almost subconsciously.

Answer 3

I do the same thing! It isn't bad at all!

Answer 4

Well, it has it's pro's and con's. For one it is sometimes good to ... well you know what they say " When in Rome, do as the Rome's do ". On the other hand people will often be suspicious or even annoyed by someone who is trying to act like them instead of being themselves.

Answer 5

It's not good or bad; it's who you are. Everyone changes a little to conform to the people they're around. A lot of people don't realize it, and it can be as simple as a different tone of voice or a set of specific words. It's human nature.
