Is this weird?!
Question: I think that my behavior and personality is GREATLY influenced by those people who are around me. For instance, when a cowrker of mine joined I went from kind of quiet to uber-chatty and joker and outgoing, like she was, very quickly. I was drawn to her personality. Now she has gone, I do not act that way. Is this bad and is there omething wrong with me? Or is this normal and am I making a big deal out of nothing? The more I think about it, the more I realise that I have done this my whole life. Any ideas would be appreciated!!

your making a big deal out of nothing, this is normal, many people change how they act around new people, its a way of making friends.
Yes---tres wierd :)
i am EXACTLY like that.everyone is different so its a good thing
thats one way to get a lot of friends
ur a chamillion
idk......i think everyone does that a little...
Dork
That is completely normal human behavior. ALL behavior is learned.
w8 i think i have an idea! no.......no... its gone
damn.
I have known people like that! Dont worry about it....you probably just need to mature and figure out who YOU are.
Take care! ;)
I don't think that is weird. I have been like that with certain people, I think it is because certain people you just click with, ya know?
every one acts different when some one knew enters their life
people try new peronalitys and uber-chatty and joker and outgoing is not your thing
b yourself sista

I have alot of friends that do this. It can be a turn off. Changing your personality to fit who you are with is wrong. Be yourself. Let everything come naturally. Don't change to fit in.
Well different people bring out different things in you. Maybe you really clicked with this other co-worker. I feel more comfortable around some people than I do around others and therefore are more open with them. Even If other people come around I am still more talkative and light hearted because the person I am with brings out that side of me.
Some people I am just generally pissed off at and they bring out the worst in me, I do admit though that I really should control my own emotions (I don't always) But I would say that you were pretty normal
I think that is a little natural. If you ever work in a large corporation or production facilities that have similar departments, you will see some seem dull and some seem happy depending on the workers. Then if someone upbeat is transferred to a dull department, you see it changed for a while, and when they leave it changes back. Not always, but I think it is common. I don't think you're weird.
honestly i have never thought about this before. but if i`d have to say i think you are normal. =D your co-worker was probably someone you really had things in common with and warmed up to easily. if you don`t really talk to anyone else at your office i could see how you would go back to your old ways. hope this helps some. =D
i dont think thats werid, you want 2 act like the people around you at the time so you feel like you fit in with them. i have some friends that i act like a complete idiot with cause thats what there like and others that im really serious with, depends on who im with.
just be yourself. maybe you find nothing wrong with her character, that's why you two get along well. or maybe you're just tired of being a loner and you feel with her company, things were different.
it can be a positive thing if you surround yourself with positive people and a very bad thing otherwise.
No this is not bad--at all!! People have a lot to do with our personality...I actually learned this in Psychology class in college!! People tend to emulate the behavior of someone they admire...Say for example--if you like the way someone acts, and you aspire to act in such a way--you pick up that behavior, and it reshapes your personality...One thing you're not realizing is...You are an individual ever-changing...Your personality is NOT what you think it should be...You evolve, and the fact that you started acted a certain way around another individual, only shows that...that particular individual brought out that spunky side of you!! It's perfectly normal!! I wouldn't question it a bit!! No big deal!!
I don't think it's very weird. There are just certain people that bring out different traits in you. It's the same case for everyone, and I'll give you an example in my own life. With my family, I can be open and say anything. With my coworkers, I stick to my work, and have relatively dry conversations. When I'm around a silly friend of mine, if I'm in the right setting, I'm silly too. There is nothing odd about that. Now, if the reason you are quiet at work now is related to you not feeling good about yourself around your coworkers, or you don't feel comfortable around them, you should look into self-esteem issues or what it is about your coworkers that makes you feel uncomfortable (and with that, look at yourself and ask, "why does this make me uncomfortable?"
you are interested by others characteristics so you mimic them to add to your own this isn't bad or weird its the way you relate interpret and understand plus it maybe a way of making them feel comfortable or vice versa so there can be acceptance with out clashing.. this only my opinion..I think its cool learning how others are by acting like them you get all views that way DONT change
I'm like you as well.
It's only a problem if you find that you are not being true to yourself in order to please these people.
A little bit of therapy might help to heal this issue for you.
Here's some questions to consider:
Are you behaving like these people to please them ?
Do you feel that if you behaved like YOU that they would reject you?
Can you enjoy their company and appreciate the way they are without having to BECOME like them to show them you respect them?
