Mottleheaded

adj.
feeling uneasy when socializing with odd combinations of friends and family, or friends and colleagues, or colleagues and family—mixing a medley of ingredients that don’t typically go together, which risks either watering down your identity into gray mush, or accidentally triggering some sort of explosion.

From motley, comprising incongruous elements + headed. Pronounced “mot-l-hed-id.”
