why do people show different personalities?/personality development
Different people have different kinds of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that make them unique and different from others. That’s why individual with different thoughts, feelings and behaviors act differently that make their personality different from others. This also shows that personality comes from the inner traits of the person that remains throughout life. Many individuals have strong understanding levels that handle the situation of social life easily as compare to those who has low understanding level so we can say that individuals personality traits and characteristics also make them different from others so this is how do we differentiate from others.
Where our personalities do comes from:
We can say that our personality is the mixture of nature and nurture. Obviously we got some of our personalities from our ancestors and parents. For example eye color, hair color, height, voice, behaviors, walking style, talking style etc. They are obviously in our genes that information passed throughout generations. But we have also changed our own personalities with the time. For example, as a child when you went to your relative’s house with your parents, you act childish and performed weird activities which were not embarrassing for you at that time. But when you grown up and visit your relative’s house you changed your personality because now you feel embarrassing in this act and behavior so you have started act nicely. So from this point of view we have learnt that personalities are come from both our inner and outer effects of life. We can also change our personalities but it takes time and difficult to do.
