Impressionable Pisces

Now I'm not saying Pisces are weak because I know they can be very strong and I like them a lot, but I have noticed in relationships they can be very... impressionable (for lack of a better word.)
It doesn't seem to be a concious thing but Pisces are often so in love with the idea of love and are so in tune with people around them that they start acting like someone they spend too mcuh time with.
I've noticed so many time Pisces where I was surprised to find out that was their sign because they don't act like pisces. but then I meet their partner and realise they act just like them.
Sometimes this worries me a little. I hope they don't repress or deny any part of themselves without even noticing it.
I guess its an adaptability thing. Ive caught myself doing that a few times. Which is why Im extremely particular of WHO I hang out with because I know the people around me are very influential to who I want to be. I hang with positive people that are hard working, intelligent and know how to have fun. But I dont pick up what I deem as "BAD" behavior. If I find something annoying or negative, it wont be picked up. Only if its beneficial to me will I do so. I do this less now that Im defining more of what I want out of me.
I dont know if all fish do that though.
true, my pisces is acting more like me day by day, organised, self controlled emotionally and very practical .. funny thing is I am acting more like her by the day, driven by emotion rather than logic, and definitely more intuitive .. not good for me professionally but hey I can always use my masculine wiles to get things
They indeed do mirror and I find them very impressionable.
Its indeed annoying when they mirror.
do they really "mirror" or just accommodating?,..
accommodate* mah bad.
I think all people do this to an extent .. and for different reasons.
Cancers are notorius for this, and I find it odd that this would be recognized in Pisces and not in yourself, Cancerkitten.
A Cancer will do it to maintain recieving reassurances from their partner to stave off the constant insecurities.
A Virgo will do it because the only way they know how to love another is by providing to them, and so they will mimick the other to get into the other's zone ... so they can know how to serve.
We all accommodate, we all merge into each other in some way to form a unity .... two hearts moving as one.
With Pisces, it's on the subconscious level, actually ... because if you expect us to change, or ask us to change ... we will stand our ground of defiance until hell freezes over. We are independent, we hold our own counsel, we will NOT allow our individuality to be taken away from us ........... yet .....
we do it naturally, unbeknownst normally, until the day arrives that we look backwards to see the color of our coat has changed.
I think for us .. it's energy that we're picking up on, and has nothing to do with "thoughts".
What?

Most people are oblivious to his insults when they have a wink next to them to make the false impression that he's just joking.

You are not amongst the common ... for you recognize the deception.

Interesting .....
P-Angel you make some good points.
I like making people happy and helping them, I don't like to rock the boat and cause problems if I can help it but I also feel like I wouldn't want to change for anyone. Maybe it's cause I have a lot of Sagi and Gemini so I don't like to feel controlled or overly influenced by other people.
I must be clear that I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, in some cases it can be a great thing and can help the pisces in question to sometimes sort their life out or express themselves better, amyeb bring out something they've been holding back.
However I have seen cases where they seem to be completely different people when with family,partners or anyone they particularly look up ot. They don't just pick up mannerisms or the good things they need to develop, they just become a mini verison of the other person, never expressing a part of themselves in order to keep another person happy or so as not to cause problems.
"I am a true chameleon. My core self remains the same, but I wouldn't be suprised if you asked 10 different people who I was, and they all said something different."
Exactly the same for me! Interesting you mentioned the chameleon. This is how he survives. How many times has he dodged death by blending into the colors that surround him?
I see this as a strength, not a weakness. I can (and have been) thrown into many social situations with people I have nothing in common with, who are complete strangers, and I will be uncomfortable as hell, but you'd never know it. I will find SOMETHING in common to discuss, some way to bridge the gap to ease the tension...for everyone and myself. Because when others are uncomfortable, Pisces picks up on this, too. However, this is all surface. Who I am doesn't change in the slightest. I was simply wearing the necessary mask to survive the situation. Winking
"Pisces is the sign where the ego is at its lowest, so they are subjected to whatever outside influences decide to do (with them).."
Speak for yourself Evan_Kahn, ..i've seen plenty of heathly ego amongst the fish i know, including myself.. (i am very strong-willed, i don't let the wind take me wherever.. i do know when to be open-minded and flexible when certain circumstances call for it; different concept.)
i triple-dare you to say something positive about us for a change.
~wink, wink ..
LMAO!!!!!!!!!
Now that would be perfect in a room with a tribe of aborigines!
I think I have that mask at my mom's house.
"Because when others are uncomfortable, Pisces picks up on this, too."
LOL! same for me, it's like crazy radar you can't turn off. i too can sense the smallest awkward or uncomfortable neuances of others or unspoken expectations.. *It's just there, a part of you...
it's also called being a homo-sapien.
We adapt. It takes longer for some others, but otherwise it's a natural.
