Traits Picked Up From Parents or Other Close People?

[Liva]

Not sure if this'll work, but have you noticed if you've picked up traits or behaviors from those around you?

I've noticed that in relationships, I'm the less dominate one. Which isn't good for a relationship at all, but it's made me realise i'm just like my mum. She was the less dominate one in my parents relationship, which ended in a break up.. which kind of makes me realise i'll probably end up down the same path if I don't do something. haha.

I'm stressy as hell at times which my mum seems to be 24/7. Can't really think of anything else I've gained from her - we're very different people.

I am really laid back and I think I get that from my dad

[Cerys]

Don't really know if you could say that it's a trait I picked up, but..

I'm scared to hell of relationships, which is probably because my mum and dad had a messy break up.

honestly i don't think im much like either. nothing like my dad other than we're both fairly quiet and will be polite to people even if we don't like them or whatever the situation. i look like my mum and we both do things we have to do instead of running away from them, will help out anyone close to us no matter what (but she'll moan about it behind their back lol), both can be really happy in a good mood and couldn't care less if we're annoying but can also be in a **** mood n just really moody to each other (but she'll be mean whereas i will be nonresponsive which im sure my dad was like) yet to others we will be polite even if we're raging/moody inside. prob have more traits that i haven't realised but im happier to think im not like them

oh and my mum was ALWAYS the dominant one in the relationship ugh SUCH WEAK MEN i'd rather have a guy who could make money decisions, home decisions, leisure decisions etc whilst still letting me make my OWN decisions,

Short temper/anger issues.
Positive traits..I'm very caring and I think my family can be quite caring too

[wixard]

nothing, i'm the absolute opposite of my dad. as for my mum, she's a complete pushover/people pleaser, she is constantly AFRAID of what others will think of her, and never thinks of herself before them (not in the good way, in the bad weak way)

my sister is extremely immature/dependent on my mum, whereas my brother and i have a lot of independence and we're quite outspoken and stubborn. the only thing me and my mum would have in common is that we don't like affection, we're not an affectionate family. there's never any hugs/i love yous and this has translated into all the other relationships in my life. me and my friends don't hug/say nice things to each other unless we're drunk, heh

im too honest, which i get from my mum.

I'm pretty much exactly like my mum and dad but cba to list everything

I'm too honest too, but not to my family, like if I did something wrong in a relationship I would need to tell them and face the consequences - so far my ex said why would you tell me that and my current one was glad I did, I think people just have different opinions.

I don't think I have traits from my parents much, probably from a relationship I earn traits more, when I was with my ex I was seriously so shy and in a shell, not independent or anything. In my current relationship I'm outgoing and have my own mind it's a brilliant transformation so my ex was a bad influence, my current boyfriend is a good one. Plus the fact I have a job I'm influenced and have gained the trait to be more outgoing too.

I'm always moaning about anything and everything which I get from my mum, also a love of arguing and being spiteful/rude/critical.

Tbh I'm exactly like my mum but the complete opposite of my dad.
