Sorry if there's already a topic about this, but my head hurts too much to look properly.
I was wondering if anyone else finds that they absorb mannerisms, gestures, patterns of speech, sayings, accents etc. from other people without meaning to, or even feeling as though you can't stop it happening. If I spend too long with certain people, I start to act the way they do, even when I'm at home, or if I watch a movie and there's a character that catches my attention, I start acting like them. For example, Jack Sparrow. I sometimes copy his hand gestures and the way he rocks back when he talks. Also, at the moment I've been around a new 'friend' a lot, and I'm starting to mimic things she does, which is really annoying me because I don't want to do those things.
Yeah, basically, I'm just curious.
