I do not post a lot on the forums but I do read a lot of what is posted here. I noticed something interesting though and I am sure it is something that has been talked about on here; the concept of how personality is created. I see on here people who can point to certain events as huge impacts on their personality and others who just have always felt the way they do; they can't really point to any certain event that changed them, it's just a culmination of everything. I find myself being both; I can point to certain major events as having impacted who I am in a major way but at the same time I have always felt pretty much the same. I have never really changed drastically because of those things. Basically the core of who I am has remained constant, just adding layers to it. This brings me to my question; for those who are willing to share, what do you point to being the biggest impact on who you are?
At the same time I want to bring something else up because I have also noticed other patterns and that is just simply how each person on here interacts to certain events like death. Some on here act in very similar ways and if not that, they at least have a pretty similar point of view. Of course I am not suggesting we are all one in the same, just that there are similarities. It just raises the question of; how is it that so many people, raised in such different ways, come to similar conclusions without ever having met each other? Like MBTI suggests that we have preferences to how we interact in the world, are we in fact born with those?
For anyone who has been around a baby or a very young child, you can see these preferences. You have babies who cry a lot, you have babies who don
