When I say that you are who you are from the people you've met and the situations you have experienced?



yes kinda

but i feel it is your reaction to those things that define who you are

if i met john gotti that does not make me a organized crime member
but if i let him talk me into joining then yes i would be

if i see a car on fire with someone trapped in it ==this does not make me a hero nor a noncaring individual

my reaction to this answers that

just a thought

but hey

what do i know

Ok, so lets say you noticed how Gotti handled pressure. Would you see anything in how he handled it and applied it to yourself in certain situations?

Gotti??

Well since I can't find one redeeming quality there and with some other people, I'd have to say no.

What I mean is, I think we all have a strength we don't know that we have. I agree genes play a part in it, but often how we deal with things in life is learned behavior.

that is correct woody, and our own personal thoughts, and inventions, as well as our empathy toward others, which helps them shape themselves as well.

I also believe that we, as individuals, never stop learning and growing. Again, enters the experiences and people!

Although some would argue that a newborn is basically a tabula rasa, there are things both innate and environmental that shape who we are, and each experience reforms our personality. yawn

that would be my action from seeing him not my action because of him

kind of like be patient and procrastinating (a fine line between the two

but just meeting someone does not make you anything it is your reaction that defines you

Why is it then that if you go to, say the deep south, and hear the people talk with an accent and certain phrases, it does not take too long before one starts saying things like "Y'all"? Does this affect your personality?
