Instead he's shifted to operating in a similar way as he had before - he chooses who he lets in and who he keeps out, who he allows himself to be vulnerable with. Who he trusts enough to expose himself more to, who he knows that even if he did pick up traits from them, they'd be similar enough to his own that he wouldn't mind.
For now, it's enough to soothe him - but there's also times if he wonders if that's a good thing. ]
