Let's take a look at the differences
between your natural and adapted behaviors
As we've seen, we all behave in 2 different ways, depending on the context and the people around us. It's interesting to analyze the gaps between our Natural Behavior and our Adapted Behavior. They help us to understand the type of energy we expend or rein in according to the person we're talking to, and to what degree.
If they are similar: you retain your Natural behavior overall, whatever the context.
If they are different: you tend to adapt to a context that stresses you out or puts you on show. This means that you force yourself to act natural, which can leave you struggling.
Your aim should not necessarily be to modify or reconcile these 2 behaviors, but to fully understand them so that you can use them as a strength in any situation, or work on them if they undermine you.
What your results reveal:
- I still stay the same
- I deal with problems and conflicts in my usual way
