//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 feel I act the same around all my friends. However, I do act differently when I'm with my parents and during class. When I am with my parents, I feel I need to treat them with more respect and more authority because they are my parents and the people who raised me. However, when I am at school and in class, I tend to be more focused and aware of what needs to be done, and I try to complete the tasks to the best of my ability. This is because I am aware that my positive actions in school, lead to a better future. When I'm with my friends, I am usually more laid back and outgoing. These are the times I relax and get rid of all of the stress from school and everything else. I make these adjustments because different people expect different things out of me, and it feels more comfortable. I don't think it is hypocritical, because all these personalities are part of me. There is never a point in my day when I act differently, just to impress others. When I act differently around others, it's because I respect them, not because I want them to like me more. As I stated before, I feel all these components are part of me, not different people. //
