Is it normal to feel like i am a social sponge?

So I guess the way I can explain this is that the way I act is completely dictated by the people I am with. Now I know that this is normal to a point, but I mean I can change my own comfort zone entirely depending on the comfort zone of those around me. e.g. if someone I am talking to are not awkward talking about a subject I could talk about it all day.... So I guess what I want to know is that if I am normal that my entire personality changes to suit my surroundings and sometimes I don't control that.

    I'm not sure if this is normal, but it just sounds like you're very adaptive in social situations to fit the vibe, which I think is a gift to be honest. A lot of people sort of just stay in their own little bubble in get-togethers, and I think that's sort of bad. I mean having a comfort zone is great, but if you're at a party and you're not having any fun because of insecurities well then there's no real point in being there. Of course there are people who just love the party scene and have a high threshold for discomfort.

    But anyways, back to your question. I'm not sure how normal this is, but it's not a bad thing.

    Personality camouflage, they'll never detect it's you.

    It would be helpful if you could learn to control it. That way, you'll never forget who you really are.

    Kind of a social chameleon. Sounds good to me and very pleasant.

    It's completely normal to behave very differently around different people.

    Alright so i should focus on trying to control it rather than it be just a reflex?
