Do you sometimes find yourself talking in a different accent when you're with your loved ones?

I've noticed that the way I talk can change depending on who I'm around. Sometimes I pick up the way my friends pronounce certain words, and other times I catch myself using a completely different voice when talking to family. It's not even intentional, it just happens naturally, and I don't always notice it until later unless they point it out or i overheard myself in voice messages.

I'm curious if this happens to other people too. Do you have a different accent around your family, partner, or close friends than you do around strangers? Or is your way of speaking pretty much the same with everyone?

When I was with friends I was more talkative and loud and just weird and when I was with my family I was quiet and monotoned.

Oh my god me toooo

When I'm with friends and people I'm close to I speak faster and more relaxed with an american accent. But, when I'm talking to someone for the first time, I usually speak slower and have a thick british accent. Every new person I've talked to in the past week has pointed out my accent and asked of any prior connection to Britain.

I thought I was alone

I always have a southern accent. However it lessens a bit with my in laws & thickens after seeing my relatives from the deeper south.
