The influence of the environment

I wear and tear as I am expected to
By those I like to identify with.
I want to adapt to the society
I want to associate myself with.
The space and the time shift me here and there,
Which brings me to new environments
And accordingly I change my colour.
Yet I boast of my individuality.
