Those are valid and good questions.
I used to be more like how you are. I think it is a gift to naturally adapt to our environment (aka friends' ways) but I like how now I'm more centered in myself. Though I might add or subtract things i say with different people, but I don't morph into some different versions of myself with different people any more. (Not saying you're doing this.)
Do you find you get along with fewer people that way? That’s my worry. Trying to meet them how they are rather than where I’d like to be
well, I do meet them where they are without intentionally censoring myself. It's a place I reached that I can be true to myself and allow them to be themselves at the same time.
Like we don't have to agree on things but we can both state what our beliefs are and still be friends or friendly with each other.
Does that make sense?
I hardcore cut out toxic people. But other than that, I look for commonalities to connect on. So, I don't think I'm connecting with less people.
