I am all of those to the various people in my life. Sometimes I follow; sometimes I go my own way; sometimes I must be me; and, compromise with some people allows the relationship to be on equal grounds. So I am not one person, but a mixture of many.

Do you believe it takes a compromise on your part to fit in?

I have never been a follower...I not only march to the beat of my own drummer, I am my own drummer.
I believe in the Individual, and I believe in the Source...and I believe that as Individuals, we are part of that Source...and as such, also part of the Collective Consciousness, and our Soul Groups.
Yes, to a certain extent it always takes some compromise to live together as humans, whether in a social group like here, or in a partnership with one other. There are ramifications for not doing so...for example, if you have something that I like, I can't just take it, that's stealing, and I go to jail. If there's something that I want to say that's totally rude, and I say it, then I offend people that I don't wish to offend. I have learned how to say the things I wish to say in a manner that is non-offensive but gets my point across, and to control a temper that was so vicious I couldn't release it in public. These have been compromises that helped me to exist well in society. Those who don't make them, or can't, are sociopaths, and do not exist well in society. If my partner wants one thing, and I want another, it makes the relationship much more harmonious if we can work out some sort of compromise.
What I never compromise are my principles, nor the core of who I am. I will not lie, or be something that I am not, just to "fit in" or even to "make" someone love me. When it comes down to it, in everything I do, I am me. I'm just the best me that I can evolve to be.
Good night, Zee and everyone! I checked in one final time before heading to bed to see if there was anything new and interesting, and found this! Good one, Zee! Nice way to end my evening. I'll check back in tomorrow!

I think I'm all of the above depending on the circumstance.
