On the other extreme, they feel like they have to be exactly like their friends. Others are pretty comfortable in their own skins, accepting of their personality traits that are strengths in some contexts and failings in others. Maybe that's most of us. <br /><br />Everyone has places and roles in which they feel more comfortable, and I think we all sometimes play our oddball traits up in certain contexts.<br /><br />But there are some folks I've met who are bright, multi-talented, and always exploring. That may be the multi layers you've mentioned. I find those people more interesting than the ones who prune off those "oddball" traits in order to fit in with the crowd.<br /><br />Maybe every single person has those multi layers, but only some are comfortable enough to let others see them? And maybe our priorities and interests change over time?<br /><br />But either way, those that are comfortable enough to let us know their many traits are a lot more interesting, in my opinion.<br /><br />Johanna QuilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
