4 Ways to Develop Your Personality

We all are different and different by necessity and default. That is the beauty of biodiversity.

And so in life, we come across different types people who are unique in how they behave, how they react and how they reason.

Personality is a sum combination of mannerisms and attributes that makes every person distinct and unique from the each other.

Personality is formed as a result of two factors:

Heredity

There are personality traits that we inherit from parents and relatives.

No wonder you find some of your traits, your likes and dislikes similar to those of your parents or relatives.

Environment

There are some personality traits that we pick up along the way as we grow and live our lives by our environment: the places we live, the home we live in and the people we share those spaces with.

As we grow and live, we pick up habits, values and beliefs that are dependent on where we grow and who we grow with, live or interact with.

Personality Can Be Tricky

According to science, the traits we pick up in childhood stick the most more than the ones we get as we grow up.
