How is your personality formed?
Personality includes your thoughts, feelings and behaviors which make you different from other people. How is your personality formed? Most people believe that it is formed by both nature and the environment.
By nature
Some aspects of your personality are passed onto you by your parents, for example, liveliness and impatience. That is why people say “like father, like son”. Sometimes, these personalities do not change and remain the same throughout your life.
By the environment
The environment, including your education, your experiences and the people around you, can change your personality. For example, you may become confident if you successfully complete a difficult task through hard work. That is how your experience influences your personality.
