We act different because different people have higher expectations out of us than others.

Cody

I agree with you

Cheyenne

I like that statement, and I agree people do think higher of us than some so we act differently around them.

We act different around different people because your grandma doesn’t like the way you talk when your around the boys so you act and talk differs around her.

Wylie

A lot of people act different depending on who they are around. People act different in front of there family then they would in front of there friends.

Owen

Like the way you said this

Cody

12/16/2019 10:39:08 am

Everyone has a different personality. Sometimes you act weird with you friends and when you’re around family you might act more mature.

Sydnee

12/16/2019 10:40:02 am

That’s true

Destiny

12/16/2019 10:40:33 am

I completely agree.

Tamryn

12/16/2019 10:41:16 am

I agree Cody

Cheyenne

12/16/2019 10:43:57 am

I agree and sometimes it’s how we feel around those people like if we’re more comfortable around them.

Jacob

12/16/2019 10:39:08 am

I play a few roles in my life. I am a student and a athlete and also a worker.

Loon

12/16/2019 10:39:16 am

You wouldn’t talk the same way with your friends that you would to your boss for example.

Sydnee

12/16/2019 10:40:58 am

We’d be fired

Loon

12/16/2019 10:41:26 am

I agree with that

Tamryn

12/16/2019 10:42:56 am

I agree that we act a lot more respectable towards our boss than our friends

Sydnee

12/16/2019 10:39:21 am

We act different around other people because we want them to judge us based on how we act.

Kaleb

12/16/2019 10:41:09 am

I think your correct.

Caleb C

12/16/2019 10:39:30 am

Some of the different roles I play include ranch hand for work, athlete for sports, and student for school. We act differently around certain people because of our relationship with said person and their personalities.

Dylan

12/16/2019 10:42:28 am

Those are good examples for roles.

Paul

You have a few roles in life.

Destiny

12/16/2019 10:39:44 am

I am a sister, daughter, friend ect. We act differently because it naturally happens. We are more comfortable around certain people and situations.

Tamryn

12/16/2019 10:39:46 am

Humans are people pleasers. We act different around certain people hoping to reach their expectations and hope they like us. I don’t really feel like a play different roles but I am the “drunk” aunt in the friend group.

Kaleb

12/16/2019 10:40:23 am

I agee

Brayden

12/16/2019 10:42:17 am

Great response, I agree.

Destiny

12/16/2019 10:41:21 am

Its true that humans are people pleasure.

Destiny

12/16/2019 10:42:12 am

*pleases.*

Kelton

12/16/2019 10:42:38 am

I agree completely

Kelton

12/16/2019 10:40:08 am

I don’t really play any roles I act the same around everyone. Most the time people are just trying to seem cooler to other groups trying to fit in. My friends say I am the “drunk uncle” because of my tendencies to make situations more fun.

Jacob

12/16/2019 10:41:14 am

I respect that.

Troy

12/16/2019 10:41:26 am

Other wise known a single the uncle we don’t leave alone around small children

Caleb C

12/16/2019 10:42:23 am

I definitely agree it's good to try to act the same around everyone. And I like the nickname.

Dakota

12/16/2019 10:40:33 am

I play the supporter when people are down, but when things get rowdy I play the hype man. I feel like we act differently to fit in with a certain group of people.

Caleb C

12/16/2019 10:43:31 am

I agree we act differently to also fit in with different groups based on their personality, background, etc.

I play the role of a friend at school and the roles of a daughter and sister at home. I think we all play different roles around different people or situations because it’s how we feel in the moment how we have best learned to adapt in life.

Dylan

12/16/2019 10:40:45 am

Some roles one may play is a friend or a companion. We act differently based on what people are going through or have dealt with. That differs with every person.

Riley

12/16/2019 10:42:59 am

I agree that everyone does it differently.

Brooke

12/16/2019 10:45:54 am

I didn’t think of that you sometimes need to change the way you act depended on what that person is going through.

Riley

12/16/2019 10:42:17 am

I act differently around my parents than I do with my friends. People expect different things and especially in the professional fields we’re required to act more sophisticated. We do this because the way people perceive us is important to our relationship with them.

Dylan

12/16/2019 10:43:18 am

Nice examples and I agree.

Brooke

12/16/2019 10:44:42 am

I agree that their are times when you need to act differently because the way that person precise us is important.

Jacob

12/16/2019 10:42:28 am

We act differently around people because we don’t want certain people to know are different sides.

Brooke

12/16/2019 10:43:07 am

I don’t act differently around my friends or family. The only time that I act differently is at work. I act different because I have to act in a profitional way because I am in a perfection setting.

Riley

12/16/2019 10:44:03 am

I agree that in a professional setting you have to act different.

I have many rolls I play in life. A musician, an artist of many things, the odd one of many, and on the inside a hero and villain. These are only some. For there are many more that no one in Salmon has yet to see for many reasons.

This is also why we tend to act differently around different people and situation. There are different people we are more comfortable with than others. Or we try to impress someone or act similar to them in order to fit in (something I refuse to do and be different to fit in as an example).

Owen

12/16/2019 10:48:55 am

I like this.

Charlie

12/16/2019 10:44:28 am

I only play a different role when I’m around guests or around someone I shouldn’t have my regular personality around. We act different around people because we want to give a good impression.

Owen

12/16/2019 10:46:11 am

Student, athlete. The reason we act differently around other people is to fit in with what is common but it is not good to do this.

Paul

1/22/2020 10:24:29 am

I play many roles in my life. I am a son, a student, a boyfriend, and a worker. We act different so we get along better with the people we’re with.
