a person, male or female, who has ident-ty problems, causing them to focus on the ident-ty of others (i.e. schoolmates, co-workers, “friends,” or other persons somehow involved in said chameleon’s life). the focus eventually cues a temporary transformation that leads to the person mimicking another’s style, habits, and even vocal patterns.

this is a most frustrating behavior to any true individual, as nothing about one’s personality or style can feel “sacred” once a chameleon begins transforming to be just like them.

a chameleon is a middle-sized reptile that can change colors.
they are rather bizarre-looking, because their eyes can point in different directions.
they are famous for their ability to change their color to match their surroundings, hence the nickname, “chameleon” given to anyone who changes with what’s “popular”.
me: i just saw a chameleon!
friend: oh, they are so lame! they think they have a life but they don’t
me: no, i mean the reptile
similar to a survivalist, but with several important differences. chameleons prepare themselves for scenarios in which failure would result in a large loss of life or societal collapse as opposed to survivalists who simply wish to prepare for an apocalypse. they dress in a paramilitary style or are nondescript. their preparation for emergency situations often makes them the civilians who first respond to medical situations or accidents. most are concentrated in urban areas where their skills are most likely to be useful.

you see a girl at the bar who is hot, emo, punk, goth, mexican, cacausian, black, asian, middle-cl-ss, upper-middle cl-ss, and or rich

you go and sit at the bar next to the lady

you then engage in remote conversation about rich and successful your life is, but make sure to bend a different way to a different pop-culture if you know these won’t be applicable

at this point you have to have already figured out what backup intel you need to ensure that your not caught, because she is gonna wanna know your sources.

make sure not to go under yarns about anything personal or eventful, because 9 times outta 10 she might have an iphone(come on people now days…yeah iphone owner) so make sure to be very vague, but not too vague.

after getting a successful convo in buy her a drink of her choosing.

after engaging in a real heart to heart, you are pretty much on the train to successful chameleonism, but your not there yet.

make sure to always contour yourself, and almost resort to mimicry if applicable to keep her talking to you.

make sure to always dress according to who you wanna pick up the night.
