Randomness

Today at morning tea, my colleague and I had an interesting chat. She said I was "like a movie" in that I had little fixed sense of self. She also told me that I pretend to be a committment phobe but what I - deep-down - wanted was a relationship; this, at least, is true.

I act differently in different situations. But, isn't it boring to act the same way constantly? Rather than showing weakness, does this not show strength in that I am following my beliefs - that there is not fixed, essential character - and that I am able to have fluid conceptions of essentials?
