[Description of flag:
A flag with 5 stripes, split diagonally from the top right to the bottom left.
The left side stripes are, from top to bottom, light green, white, light blue, a medium blue, and a dark blue. The right side is in the reverse order. The left side has an orange-yellow tint to it, while the right side has a yellow tint to it.
There are two stars, both centered, both with four points. The one on top, which is a yellow colour, has the top and bottom points reaching the top and bottom edges of the flag.

A flag and term for when your identity changes based on social situations.
Examples of what this encompasses:
Using a different names for different groups of people (such as family and friends).
Using different pronouns depending on who you are talking to.
Dressing in a different style depending on the people you are with.
How is this different from normal change in behaviours depending on social groups, you may ask.
Socidenfluid is a term for when you genuinely feel different for the groups you are with.
If you are using a different name/pronouns/dressing differently due to masking, for safety purposes, or to fit in with a group? That is not socidenfluid.
An example I use from my own life:
I use a different name and pronouns with my friends vs with my family. They are both names and pronouns I have chosen and am comfortable with, but am not comfortable with my family calling me my friend name/pronouns, or my friends calling me my family name/pronouns.
