a social acceptance morph (SAM) is a person with a servile need to be liked. This person has a fluid personality that changes depending on the social situation or whom they are with. Social acceptance morphs are the people usually described as "nice" or "
sweet," and they are often the most popular people in any given situation. Upon meeting a SAM, you will feel as if you have met your new best friend--someone who shares all your same interests and laughs at all your jokes. For this reason, a SAM has many infatuated admirers and people who think they are really good
friends. Unfortunately, these interactions are not authentic. In most cases, a SAM has very few real
friends. It is the
tragic circumstance of a SAM that s/he, because of the constant need to please and morph to suit those around, has no
real idea who s/he is.
Actually, Bob really has no interest in
rock climbing, he's just a SAM.
Honestly, the only reason Olivia laughed at your joke and
said studying sociology was fascinating is because she is a social acceptance morph.
