I'm me, 100% of the time. It's why I have a knack for making really good friends really quickly, or getting people to hate me with a passion. Quite frankly, I don't care. My friends will always be my friends and I don't want anything to do with anyone else. Hate me for all I care. I don't want your approval or your company.

I can't see myself acting differently when I meet new people, unless I'm a little more shy. Usually after 5 minutes talking to someone though, I open up and not really shy at all. I just have to get to know them a little first too.

I'd say I'm half and half. I've learn to become myself around certain people and if they like who I am, our friendship grows, but with others I guess you could say I'm still fake with them, as in I act a certain way to please them or make them like me more than they would if I were to be my normal self.

What does that have to do with anything?

I have a very, er, playful personality. So I tend to get along with just about everyone by making fun of them. Interesting how it works.

Those are always the most entertaining people. Because you can make fun of them too and it's all good.

I've been thinking lately about college, and how I think i want to be thought of. Up until sophomore year I was fairly awkwardly introverted, but I've realized that it's for the most part boring, and I've "come out of my shell" a little, just trying to be a little bit of a more interesting person. I don't wanna say I'm a new me, because that's cheesy and an unnecessary overstatement, but I think it'll be nice to more or less start over with some new friendships.

College can change people. That's what new experiences do. It successfully changed me from an introvert to an extrovert.

Agreed. It successfully changed me from an introvert to an uber-introvert.

But you're still being you, right? You're not changing your personality etc. just to suit those friends.

Right. Because again, when you aren't you, it's no fun.

In the immortal words of Chris Cornell:

"But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do"

As for the question at hand... I'm myself all the time. Quiet, reserved, and an asshole when I do open my mouth (which isn't often). I simply don't give a shit if other people think I am good, bad, quiet, an ass, funny, stupid, whatever. Like at work right now. There is a HUGE political game of a bullshit going on with people jockeying for position in a management makeover. A lot of ass kissing and backstabbing. I just don't understand it. It's a job, nothing more. Work your ass off, go the extra mile, and your work will speak for you.

The hilarious thing is that the people who are playing the political game won't win. The people who are taking over have already been chosen (yay for my dad being on the inside. lol) and they all earned the job through hard work and dedication to what they do.
