It is something I have always felt has been a part of me. I hated that it was something I did for so many years. I tried to change it about myself but I couldn't, it is a part of my soul.
For any of you who are not sure what it is, pretty much anyone with the chameleon trait will adjust and blend with their surroundings, whether that is people or the mood or vibe of a room. When I am with someone I am close to, or even just meeting someone, I mold myself to be just the person they can depend on or talk to. Put myself completely in their shoes, I act a different way.
It isn't fake, like it sounds. When I do this its unconsciously, but genuine. This always got confusing when I were in a room with a few of my friends who didn't usually associate with each other. I wouldn't know which face to show. It also made me question who I really was. I didn't feel I had my own personality, I felt a stranger to myself. My family would actually call me a chameleon. Back then I was in a deep depression though and didn't have the energy to use my trait for good and helping people. That was when I realized I NEEDED time to myself to get a sense of who I was again.
After researching this, I see it can be a good quality, it isn't all that bad. If anyone else has this, please tell me your experiences or what you think!
