What personality traits do you share with your parents and other family members?

How do you feel about those similarities? How much do you have in common with the adults who raised you?
Maybe you share a parent’s sense of humor, an aunt’s perfectionism, a guardian’s extroversion or a sibling’s determination — or maybe you feel like your personality is unique among your family members. How much do you have in common with the adults who raised you? Are there personality traits you see in yourself that you also see in them? Which ones?
How do you feel about the similarities between yourself and your parents, guardians or other family members? Do they ever cause you distress, as Ms. Grose experienced? Or do you feel differently? Are there traits you see in the people who take care of you that you do not see in yourself? Which ones? Why do you think that is? How do you think parents like Ms. Grose should talk to their children about what they have in common? How have your parents addressed the similarities they share with you? What personality traits have you picked up from your parents that you absolutely hate?
Anytime I knock something over, or any tiny inconvenience such as missing the trash can when I throw something away pisses me off way more than it should. My mother is the exact same way. I'm also very stubborn and paranoid. So is she. What traits and mannerisms do you share with your family members?
Do you look like your mother? Your father? Do you and your cousin have similar-sounding laughs? Do you and your uncle both have a tendency to talk loudly? Do you happen to get your taste for crazy hats from your aunt? (Honestly, I'm adopted so I wouldn't know how to answer this question myself, but I could read people's answers to it all day long. Genetics are fascinating!) What personality traits did you inherit from your parents, for better or for worse? Do you inherit your parents' personalities?
I was reading up the four temperaments and realized that I'm a melancholy. It made me think if its because of my resemblance to my mom's personality or is it genetics or is it the environment that I've been raised in? So do we tend to inherit personalities from our parents of the same sex? For example, the son would be similar to their dad's personality while the daughter would be similar to their mom's personality. What’s one personality trait you‘re happy you got from your parents/family? Which of your family members are you most like (in terms of personality, appearance, hobbies, or anything else)? What personality trait have you inherited from your parents that you hate having pr that you wish you didn't have? Who do you take after more personality wise: your mom or your dad? Who do you think you get your looks from? What toxic trait have you realized you inherited from your parents? What’s your type and what are your family members’ types? Do you get along well?
I’m INFP with an ESTJ dad, ISFJ mom, and ISTP brother. Very interesting because all of them are sensors. I do get along well with my family, but have the least connection with my dad. I try so hard to joke around or chat with him, but he’s usually quite indifferent. My mom and my brother are like best friends to me. But we do have our differences and inevitable conflicts when it comes to emotional discussions. I’m too emotional for them lol
Just curious about the different types and family dynamics! Do you think your parents' personalities influenced your personality?
My ENTP dad and I are both similar in that we both like to argue, and that we're critical and strong-willed. My INFJ mum, on the other hand, is a lot more soft spoken than my dad and she was a great (and still is) mother to me growing up. However, she spent more time with me as a child than my dad, so I've been wondering why I ended up more similar to my dad, than my mum? What is your experience? What annoying personality traits did your parents or other family members have, that in the past really got to you, but you’ve since learned to accept? What's the worst personality trait you've inherited from one of your parents?
For myself it's the urge to correct people's grammar. Growing up, my mom would always correct my grammar and now as an adult I find myself wanting to correct others'. I hold it back for the sake of politeness but it takes a great deal of effort. One of the reasons it’s so hard to type a lot people is because of the people around us. Our family and friends influence our personalities a lot and can make us lean more extroverted even tho we may have an introverted personality type. I want to gather some information on people’s families to determine how the people around someone can sway them one way or another. For example: let’s say your an ESFP and your parents are INTJ and INFP. How does that change you as a person? Perhaps you see yourself as more of an ISFP and you didn’t even know. I’m curious to see if any of you can give an examples of this. What is a personality trait that you inherited from parents that you're angry about having? How much do you think your parents shaped your personality (as an INTJ)?
My mom have always pressured me to do my best in academics ever since I was very young. Now I have unhealthy INTJ traits such as perfectionism and I couldn't accept failure. Yes, I get the job done, but sometimes I wish I could enjoy and find rewarding value from my tasks instead of just trying to fulfill my self-expectation. People with toxic family member or friends, are you every triggered by Bravolebrity's personality traits?
I don't have to tell any of you that some personalities on Bravo appear to be super toxic. Through years of therapy, I've come to the conclusion that my mom likely has histrionic personality disorder. She is very dramatic, says inappropriate comments, and needs to be the center of attention. I can see some of her traits in Sonja (except when Sonja is inappropriate, it is somehow endearing) and even Vicki (RE: the FAMILY CAR meltdown). UGH! Since I'm quarantined and don't have much else to do, I want to ask y'all, have you ever felt uncomfortable watching because parts of a Bravo star's personality remind you of someone close to you? What negative trait did you inherit from your parents?
