Chameleon

A person, male or female, who has identity problems, causing them to focus on the identity 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.

The girl I work with is such a chameleon!
