If they only happen because a social context I would call that normal, if you also have a core personality. I have met the odd shapeshifter that do not and only borrow traits from others, and when asked what they personally like and think, they lack an opinion. That I can't say is normal. But otherwise all or most people adapt to the social environment.

I don't see myself as abnormal either even if I have a weird sense of self. I tend to see smaller details than people do, not see the wholes people do, and see different patterns. Like many aspies I hate when one detail doesn't fit (in general) so I realize now it is why I also create a sort of inner conflict. Other people can easily accept a whole where details are wrong, they just simply ignore them. I seem not to be able to. Which causes a pretty fragmented self.

As a pattern seer still, these fragments find connections and build up new personas where there are no conflicting details. It can be like an inner subculture even, where a taste of clothes, music and food goes hand in hand and creates a persona.

Who is in charge seems a little like a will thing. Mr Evil was the true me for a long time, he did not think something else was possible in a true sense and was repulsed by the thought of Mr Niceguy being created. It was a violation to who I truly was. When Mr Niceguy actually had been built, Mr Evil became more and more distant and now I feel like Mr Niceguy is my true self. I can hardly lure Mr Evil out anymore. The change was a conscious decision.

Mr Niceguy now bores me. But there is yet "someone" else to step in...

As you age, your personality coalesces into a singular entity that people recognize you by.

That doesn't mean that your character does.

Bipolar. Mania, depression and all the glorious moods in between. Said with sarcasm.

I had a female character in the Tony Hawk games, and when I brought her online I didn't bother correcting people's assumptions. In time "she" made a name for herself, even down to her own AIM account, backstory, and I used references of where I used to live to make stories more convincing. In time she had her own entourage of regulars that would always play with her, and even had her own Clan on a few occasions.

Seeing some people's responses to "losing to a girl" was pretty priceless, but overtime the character gained a life of it's own after enough ass-covering and insurance through pre-prep. She pretty much died when the TH games went away from keyboards and towards microphones, as there is pretty much no wayfor me to make my voice sound feminine. It was fun while it lasted, seeing the differences between how people treat a guy and a girl within the game space. Her profile became far more popular than the male counterpart I had without even trying.

I miss the days when I could drink and turn goofy. It takes me being with the right crowd for me to get like that, as otherwise I either nurse it too much or turn into a total wallflower. I haven't had such a crowd in years, as those I have around me now aren't really the partying type.

First to be drunk, first to be sober, it usually meant people laughing at my antics as a form of hopeful foreshadowing before their own buzz kicked in. Down the line I'd be reduced to babysitting the crazier ones once I'd become the only sober one in the room.

I do, Bobby Mungler.

My internet alter ego for more suspicious internet activity. 

I also use it in my head, but going into that'd take way too long to explain.

I hope I can integrate some of Mr Niceguy's traits in my new persona. He is fun (=annoying) and a bit outgoing, and I don't wanna lose that.

It would be cool if one could morph one's body too... ;)
