Etiquette, Morals and Heart-Softeners

I wonder why every time I go somewhere or when I go to work, I change as a person. I start to almost act like them, think like them, behave like them. My iman slowly disappears and it pains me when that happens. Is it because I live in a kafir country and work with kafirs and see them all the time almost? Please help me.
