Fun thinking.

I often accredit it too much to your Nurture rather than Nature.

If you are around someone who is happy doing something like throwing a baseball. You then mimic it to try to gain the same response. If it succeeds - baseball is added to your 'likes'. Then the only thing that makes each person unique socially is circumstance.

But that is wrong because genes influence certain outcomes; say you can barely throw the baseball in comparison to the other. Now you feel inadequent to them and baseball is added to 'dislikes'.

Yet also things can be attained through training rather than talent. You cannot change everything you're given with though.


You are not you; You're everyone you've met.


(assuming you've met your parents :P)

I really have no idea where this is going to go, i just thought about this a couple days ago and felt like sharing it.

Behavior also counts. Well, at least for me. Middle school was the most forgettable, yet harshest school I ever went to. It brought me down from a happy, shy-yet-social person, to a mellow, even shyer and I-don't-care person. I didn't go reeally low, just sort of emotionless half the time. Then high school came about and slowly brought the little ball of sunshine back out of me âº

What ever you deal with in life, it some how gets thrown into you personality and makes you a little more different than everyone else.

What happens if you've only met one person in your life? Would that mean you would be almost an exact copy of that person?

I'm mostly pretty mellow. And I imagine this is becuse I hate all of these people who walk around and flip out all of the time. So rather I learned to want to be diffrent from them .

But I only grew up with my mom, and It seems I am absoulutly nothing like her, rather like certain family members I have never ment untill very recently.
