How about dragging people up with you consciousness-wise?
There's a saying; 'a king can pretend to be a fool, a fool cannot pretend to be a king'. I find it's a mark of a higher consciousness that it can be more flexible than a lower one.
When I'm around people I don't usually hang with, I take it as a challenge to be flexible and see how much rapport I can build with them.
Of course, there are standards I'd never violate (I'd never take drugs just to fit in for example) and I wouldn't hang around negative people too much, they'd just drain the life out of me and it's not worth it.
