Ok, Here we go addressing another issue in my personal life.
We are products of our upbringing in our families and the environment in which we grew up in. Sometimes when you grow up in the city, you grow up quickly. You find your individuality and establish your identity almost immediately. This may not be the case for some people due to the limited experiences they have. Some people go through a journey of self discovery in high school, some in their 20's, some in their 30's, and some later in life. I'd like to think that I am still on that journey myself at 31 years old.
When you are on that journey you always pick up characteristics of friends, family, or even groups of people you may think are confident. Just because you pick up these characteristics and try them out doesn't make you weak or a "puppet", as some have called it. In fact I think you are more confident than the next person who will sit there and judge you for it. You are on an exciting path that some of those judgemental people only wish they could do.
We all have friends that we adapt the same habits and even behaviors; it's only human nature. As long as you are not hurting yourself or others, it really shouldn't be an issue. I always believe that if one person says one thing and 15 others say another thing I go with the majority. So in conclusion, let people find themselves. It's a tough road as it is without the comments, judgements, and backlash from supposed friends. Be supportive, be helpful, give advice, let's not be so negative!
