On one end of the spectrum, you have the social chameleon, which has a different personality according to who he's talking with. This person is often conceived as being superficial, with no true personality.
On the other side, you have the almost autistic person with no empathy or ability to see things from other people's perspective. This person will often seem cold and arrogant.
What do you think is the normal amount of personality adjustment?

there is no "normal", really. i'd prefer it if people were civil most of the time, but i hate it when they act like they're interested when they're just trying to be accepted. most of the time it's ridiculously transparent.

there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.

when you say "don't be an asshole" together with "be yourself," I'm assuming you're saying you shouldn't try to be an asshole, but what if you're yourself and people percieve you as an asshole?

I only adjust according to respect for the people I'm with, btw, and that means being truthful and considerate over being polite or civil.

DM: If you're yourself and people perceive you as an asshole, then I suppose you are an inherent asshole. Which is too bad. Tact is the key, really.

I don't think it's unusual to change a bit, particularly when dealing with people in a professional capacity. If I tell a friend, "Well, basically it's fucked." they appreciate the honesty. If I told a client that that, I'd be out of a job.
I don't think I change my behaviour much amongst my friends/family though. Even among different circles of friends with different interests I behave pretty much the same, even if we talk about different things.
BTW Good adverts.

A lot of people that can undergo uncanny transformations depending on who they're with and where, it brings them success. I've never been able to do this and it sucks for me... I can't seem to adjust my sense of humor or project the right demeanor for the occasion. When I'm ''trying to be nice to people'', I think my body language and minute facial expressions give me away that I'm very uncomfortable. My only mode is ''aloof'', which I think people perceive as some sort of rudeness for some reason.

truth > politeness
being polite is the stupidest form of relieving yourself of responsibility and people should be prepared to hear the truth. conditioning is required.
