Does your mind often regulate your mood based on the people around you?

:gemma: General Post

Do you ever match other people's energy on an annoying level? Like someone starts up a conversation with you in a neutral/serious voice and even if you were cheerful a second ago and energetic, you're suddenly serious as well? And it's like annoying because you were having a good day and now you're down, just because your body chose to match the mood of the room. It's not even about high levels of anxiety, I just feel like my body does this out of a notion of survival.
