Do you ever feel like you tend to talk to the person in the same way that he/she talks to you? If a person always seem to be enthusiastic during conversation with you, you tend to speak louder next time you talk to that person? If a person always seems to be sluggish and answer everything in one sentense, would you just give up trying to talk to that person?

I always think that's how people would react when they encounter a similar situation. It makes sense cause I believe the interactions between peopel are mutual. Sometimes I try hard to take into account of people are different in every little way and that difference alone is the reason why people don't have to react in a reciprocal way. However, the frighting part is the more I respond in the mutual way as I preceived from previous interaction with the person, the more similar I become like that person and it only worsen the situation. Would there be other solutions?
