//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?//

It's normal for me to act and speak different around different groups of people, but the groups of people I hang out with don't influence how I dress. For example, when I'm around my group of friends in Dover, I'm extremely hyper and talkative, but when I'm around my friends in Central I'm less hyper and talkative. This is because I can talk about some things to my friends in Dover that I can't with my friends in Central because my friends in Central tend to look down on me about some of the things I talk about. For instance, when I'm in Dover, I can freely talk about my boyfriend and not get yelled at, but when I talk about my boyfriend to my friends in Central they all yell at me about it. Also, when I'm in Dover, my friends there actually acknowledge that I'm smart, but in Central my friends tend to act that I'm dumb, which I'm really not. How I act at home is very different from how act with any group of friends. At home, I am very quiet, almost mute, because no one really talks to each other in my house unless we're eating dinner, we need to ask someone a question, or my dad and stepmom are fighting. I definitely don't think this is hypocritical or false of me because how other's act around me influences how I act. The real me is when I sit back and think about life only stopping to enjoy talking to the friends I have who will listen to me.
