Our instinct to blend in is part of our default setting. Animals use their ability to take up different colors so that they’ll be safe from the predators lurking around them. We may feel compelled to do the same, when we’re in a social setting. By taking up the colors of our environment, we become invisible, and safe from the gaze of others. This way, we feel safe from judgment. But once we get more comfortable, we show our true colors, and that’s when things start to get fun.
