Adolescents and young adults author a narrative sense of the self by telling stories about their experiences to other people, monitoring the feedback they receive from the tellings, editing their stories in light of the feedback, gaining new experiences and telling stories about those, and on and on, as selves create stories that, in turn, create new selves

Moreover, when you try to change your self in some way, what is it that you are trying to change?
The change is internal, people don't often actively change themselves depending on whom they're talking to, instead i believe it is more of a natural reaction

the self may be seen as a social actor, who enacts roles and displays traits by performing behaviors in the presence of others.
I find this very intreguing because although someone may be putting on a persona in the presence of others, it very rarely is intentional. Our bodies and minds snap into a certain act when we encounter situations and immediately react in whatever way we think will protect us the best. If its a group of mean girls the best form of protection is to put on a fake nice act and comply with what they say. With someone in a position of power people will adjust their disposition to be more submissive.
