Well, I realized at one point in my life that your personality is hardly based on your upbringing. I see a lot of people who want to blame 'their parents' or 'their abuse' or 'their childhood' for the lamely, terrible behavior that they have toward everybody they meet, but this is often not the case. You'll often see these same people that I mentioned, complaining about having no friends.
Hello! You're the one who treats people so terribly, remember? No wonder you have no friends!
Back to what I was saying about childhood, there's many people who defy this law of 'genetics', or 'abusive upbringings'. I see kids complaining, and even crying just because they got grounded! And then on the other hand, my own mother had a horrible upbringing, but is actually one of the nicest and most spiritual people you'll ever meet.
So in conclusion, forget what people say about upbringings, genetics, or just plain old 'I can't control this, blah blah blah'. The real answer lies within YOU, and YOU alone - and that's who your personality is.

By going through a lifetime of hardships and personal tragedies and being more and more greatful to make it through as a stronger individual after each one. That gives you a frame of reference and if you use it to your advantage, it makes everything - even the simplest little things in life - such a wonderful thing! This strategy also helps you to be a lot more patient, and really treasure the relationships in your life as well as people you meet everyday.

I think I'm pretty nice compared to a lot of people...although I have met some really nice people, too. BUT I have met even more not-so-nice people out there. You know, there are some hateful human beings in this world. I just don't get it. And they affect me. I try not to let them get to me, but they sometimes do and I've even quit jobs over other people's attitudes and the tension in the office because I can't tolerate mean people and MEAN PEOPLE SUCK !!! Ahem...back to the question. I think I've always had a deep desire to be a good person. I'm not perfect but I try to be and dealing with all these mean people makes me sad but it makes me want to be better than them. I see all the hatred in other people and it's a shame that they want to or choose to be this way. I choose to be nice for the greater good of the world. Those mean people are contributing to the delinquency and downfall of this world. Shame on them and any of you out there that have spiteful, antagonistic attitudes towards nice people. You're just jealous. All you have to do is be nice yourself and you wouldn't have anything to be envious of, you mean thangs !!!

That is a nice question; I hope you won't mind if I borrow it to improve my conversation. That you pose such flattering enquiry marks you as nice and friendly as any you might ask. Therefore I turn the question back on you....

I think people who have a nice and friendly personality are people who like who they are, so they like other people because they assume there's a good chance others are as nice as they are.
Maybe, too, some people who are a little on the shy side may treat others the way they wish to be treated - and that way it to try to make people feel comfortable when they're around them.
Part of it may be just deciding to see other people as pretty much like us while overlooking the smaller things they may do that we may not really like.
People who are nice and friendly tend not to allow the small aggravations of life bother them. They are often people who know what is important in life and refuse to let the small stuff make them act like miserable, out-of-control, trolls.
Finally, I think when children have parents who respect them those children grow up to respect themselves. People who respect themselves tend to respect and like other people as well.

We become what we are based on an interaction between how our genes unfold and what is around us. Although, as of yet, we cannot alter the variable of our genetics, we can alter what is around us. People who seek balanced environments and balanced people, become more balanced and pleasing personalities. Consider everything around you, the light and colors, the space, the aromas, the air, the sounds and noises, the emotions, the movements and the messages that surround you. Learn to discern noxious surroundings and people from healthy surroundings and people. Avoid the noxious. Seek the healthy. Eventually, learn how to "compose" the most healthy and pleasing environmental "music" that compliments your genetic "music".

There are numerous people who would make fun of the prospect of altering their destinies. This is due to the fact that it believes that no one gets more that what is written in his fate.
