Authenticity over Adaptation
It's important not to match someone's energy just to please them. Changing who you are just to fit in can lead to watering down your true self. Instead of adapting to others, it's essential to assess if their behavior aligns with your values and needs. Drawing a line in how much one should adapt is crucial to avoid immature actions that resemble protest behavior. Protest behavior is common in individuals with anxious attachment styles, where they engage in actions due to a fear of abandonment or a threat to the relationship. It's comparable to a child throwing a temper tantrum when feeling endangered.
