Chameleon

The colour of a chameleon can change according to its environment. It's a kind of self-protection. It picks up the colour of the leaves or the tree bark, and it hides in plain sight. Fascinating right?

How about when you meet an individual who seems to be the human equivalent of a chameleon?

This person seems to change to please whoever he or she wants to impress. It may seem like a kind of deception, but it may not be deception at all. Just like the chameleon, it could be how this person becomes defensive - it might be a way to fit in and to battle low self-esteem.

So once again, I think we should always offer the benefit of the doubt before passing a judgement.
