Specific traits and habits that I find particularly admirable is the characteristics as like imitating them. Which means I want to apply something that I saw in other people, and these people can be my friends or any public figures or someone I respect a lot, but this imitation is fine as long as it’s done in a good manner or you can say that in a healthy way. However, I love to take the goodness of others and ignore all the bad things behind. I find it no necessary to imitate everyone's everything. I prefer to imitate the great and not those who are not worth it.

Maybe I have social ability as like chameleon, When I am with my friends or some that I know, I don't know somehow I began to mimic that person’s accent speech or body language. I immediately start to speak with the same inflection, and people often ask me about my district because in Bangladesh different districts people speaks Bengali in a different accent.

Once I was playing with some friends from USA, and several days later, I would catch myself speaking with a american accent, which seems very odd coming from me. While writing I also adopt a voice, and read it in another voice tune. As if I'm roleplaying the characters.

I also tend to pick up on mannerisms, and try to use it without being conscious about it. In my class I meet people from different type of districts, they have different faiths and backgrounds and so on, sometimes I like to modify my behaviour slightly and it depends on person to person. As I'm an ambivert, you can basically drop me in any group of people and I can easily fit in. I really try to admire people's goodness and follow them correctly.

My intuition always tells me about the appropriate behaviour in any situation. I will somehow find out the common ground. I think this ability of mine about observing others it helps people to feel more comfortable with me. Because I act and speak in a similar way to them.
As for an example, if you are a introvert, I will notice that and I will try to to be related to you in a quiet way. In that way you won't feel uncomfortable around me.

But sometimes I do notice that I'm talking like my friends and even I was acting like them. I had this friend in school, she had mysophobia she used to wash her hands all day, I swear then I also started to wash my hands without any reasons and I didn't even realize it at first, but my parents noticed the difference in me and then my whole vibe shifted. It's was a weird experience as I didn't have mysophobia. I can say that sometimes even if you don't mean to do it sometimes it just happens.

This usually happens if you start to absorb stuff from the people you are around all the time, and it's not a bad thing always, because sometimes it turns out to be a good habit, as I can learn new things, I think happens because of the wanting to fit in and just subconsciously copying what seems to work for others.

I believe that It's a human nature, so this eventually happens with everyone without them knowing it, but lastly I want to say that you should try to admire the good things and don't take the negativity of others.
