      Do you ever notice your mannerisms or accent or anything changes depending on the crowd you are with?
 
  I'm the same in mannerisms but I have noticed my accent (Texas accent) changes when around people with different accents  |

      I love my accent. Living in WV all my life I still get people even from WV asking where I'm from!! I've got a different accent than those around me I guess! lol

      My sister-in-law is from Ireland. A couple years ago about 5 of her family members came to the States for Christmas for two weeks. I found my accent leaning towards theirs after a while, mostly when drinking though, lol

      I work for the military, and when I'm around them I stand up straight, talk loud, and to the point.
 
  When I'm with my friends I use slang, and slump over like a sack of potatoes.  |
