Hello! How're you all doing today? Good, I hope.

I am a very flexible person when it comes to social situations. I can be formal, casual, loud or quiet in any given situation and it’s easy to switch between all of them. The emotions I feel and the thoughts I think are all very hollow and empty in these situations. Truth be told, I’m more displaying what people want me to feel or think. I’m pretty much fine with anything happening, but if people find something to be bad, I’ll go along with them and say it’s bad. If people are super excited about something, I’ll exaggerate how I feel in order to match their enthusiasm.

That’s why my friends always say that I could be companions with anyone. It’s not that I’m being fake, or that I’m scared that people won’t like me if I don’t appreciate what they do. It’s just a natural, instinctual thing for me to do. Sometimes, I do get distressed, mainly when I think too much about things on my own. I think far too much when I’m by myself, too much paranoia, anxiety, and depression. But when I’m with others, I’m completely blank, and I just copy and mimic what emotions they display.

Do any of you do this as well? Is this some kind of symptom of something, or is this completely normal behavior? I’m really unsure. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
