Erm... yes and no... it really depends on how you mean... I have several people that I hang out with and the more we spend time together the more we pick up traits from other people. But that's not a concious thing, so maybe that's not what you're talking about.
But if you want something concious, then yes, there are certain people that I run into that make me say "Okay, I'm going to be THIS now," but that's more because they're doing something that I DON'T like, and therefore I decide that I am going to avoid doing things like that at all costs.
Does that answer your question?

Yes, people have affected or influenced me until I became a whole new person ... but not always in a good way, there were these bullies once when I was ten *shudder*
Oh, you're angry! Click your pen.

I've been influenced by people in good ways and bad ways, making me a different person everytime. At one time I was influenced to the point to where I became a bully for about three years. Then, became one of the most honest, sweetest, open minded person you'd ever met. If that makes any sence. And I'm still like that today.

Yes, and no. I've changed because of experiences with other people, but I've never let other people change me unless I wanted to be changed.
For instance, because of this one guy, I am now very defensive around other guys and I don't get into serious relationships easily. Some people think I'm cold, but it's really to protect myself. I'm glad for the experience, as much as I hate it, because I'm now a stronger, wiser person.
Well.. I just remembered. There was this one girl that I couldn't stand, because she was always looking for attention. I looked at myself and saw I was doing the same. So I'm working on changing that. Still working on it lol.
yeah i think everyone changes because of someone else at some point in there lives. I mainly do it to suit my brother believe it or not. If he dissapproves of me i can't live with myself. Don't know why. Pretty stupid actually. hmmmm.........maybe i should try to stop doing that. man i hate older siblings sometimes(no offence if you are one, im sure your good at it). Ok i just went completely off subject. sorry

Hey, me too!! I tend to find that my friends and i dothe same stuff. One of my friends, since she got msn, has been acting quite a bit like me. I think it's pretty cool, a litle annoying sometimes but overall fun! She even has the same shoes as me, which was freaky cuz she didn't know i had that type. I got her intoa load of good music so we can talk about it. I read once that when people try to be like you it's because they look up to you... but having friends who are into different things is also fun, cuz it's interesting. I've been influenced by people to listen to certain music and i've found it to be amazing. So, yeah, i know what you mean.
From the beginning of this year from now I have become more outgoing and have started to care a lot less about what others think about me. But it is so weird my friends say that my personality is so much like my history teachers. Plus what is even scarier is her name is Carrie and mine is caroline.
