We all have multiple guises.
We adjust to scenarios and settings, and are able to adjust our stature and comfort level within relationships. With those who need our help, we may be the supportive and kind person, while when we interact with people who are superior in stature or have some authority, we listen more and look to appease. We are engaged and challenge those on equal footing, and instruct and expect from those we oversee. We are assertive and confident with people we are closer to than being subdued and alert with those we just meet. Our tolerance and patience will alter based upon our familiarity and liking of others or situations.
We are a composite of all these behaviors and choose the version we present based on the audiences and conditions. Which will you show up in various situations, and is this consistent with the person you choose to be and want to be seen as by others?
