..... first memory in some way or another was a slight indication or a large indication as to the kind of person you were to become (personality wise)
I think yes, but I think it depends on your first memory and what it was and what your age is, im a guy im 20 and my first memory is when it was my 4th birthday party and the party that I had.
The party itself isnt my first memory, Its me waiting in the hall by the entrance to the room and the bouncy castle I had was at the back of the hall and im waiting by the door (im only 4) all little and cute, waiting for my friends to come with their mums and or dads dropping them off to my party and giving me my presents, I was the doorman at the start of my own party lol
but I remeber waiting for my gf at the time if you can call having a gf at 4years old hehe
I remeber waiting and waiting and she finally arrived with her mum and I remeber her smile and her dress she wore and through out my party we held hands ALL afternoon and....

... we didnt go on the bouncy castle until everyone left and did nothing but walk round the hall holding hands LOL was cute really, even when we went to the buffet we were still holding hands LOL
but I feel that maybe that was the first sign that I was to become a romantic guy at heart which is what I am today!
do you see my point im trying to make? and whats your first memory and do you think it shaped you in anyway???

We moved to Durban from Capetown in S-Africa . I was not very happy about it , we travelled by train and i had chicken-pox but was still allowed on the train. All dressed in a green tight stocking type material long pants, top and a pixie hat, must have looked so silly, anyway on our arrival at our new home i heard a little girl scream , she was to become my best friend. Her father drank alot and was beating her brother and her mother was crying, i told her to come to our house and made her fried bread with loads of syrup on it. I was about 7 at that time. Seems i have not changed much still like helping others and giving things away.:)

my 1st memory was about 2 or 2 1/2. We were moving home from California. My father was stationed there. The memory is of me crying and looking at the regional airport. I can remember the coat I was wearing and seeing the airport not much else. When I told my mother she said that I was crying because I touched the snow, which I'd never seen living most of my walking years in sunny California up to that point, and it scared me. Dad had picked me up and I was facing backward toward the airport as we walked to the car.
I love to fly and travel and I love snow (at least until it's an issue of getting to work or I'm just ready for spring) I don't think it has influenced who I am in any way. Well, I don't like being cold but then again I don't like being too hot either?

Don't think it has affected me any way but I recall being very ill in a cot and later learned I had pneumonia. As I have had a fairly fit and healthy life do not see any connection. I next recall (about 2 yrs old) being burnt by an electric fire which I grabbed hold of (no guards in those days). Seems I can recall the bad things that happened but thereafter all memories are quite pleasant, just the first and earliest two.

This is actually an interesting question. Some things in our past make an imprint on us because the experience fits into a mold that is there waiting to be filled, like a lock waiting for its key.
If there's one thing I remember it's when I was 4 and mom took me to the big city for shopping. I saw for the first time very sad people, poor, destitute, with all kinds of struggles and abnormalities. It really hurt and from that time on I realized that there are many sad humans with problems and failures that will always need help and compassion. Compassion has never gone to sleep in me.

This is a good question, and that was a cuuuuute story :]
My first memory is me getting ice cream from the ice cream man and it was shaped like a dinosaur, a gumball for the eye.
As i licked the ice cream the gumball fell out and landed in the dirt and I cried really hard. Then I picked it up, washed it off in the sink, and ate it.
I think it does kind of have something to do with my life now...because if something goes wrong (like the gumball dropping) I find a way to make it work out anyway (washing it off.) And I drop things alot, that was probably a sign of things to come.
And I am 15, this memory was probably from when I was three or four.
Cheers! :]

Hmmm.... For me, no, I don't think so. Unless it means I'm more attached to my siblings.... I dunno.
I'm 53 now, I was about 3 then. I'm oldest and the next-in-line (a brother) was running under the kitchen table in just his diaper. (That's how I am determining the age - because he has a diaper on, and he isn't tall enough to hit his head on the bottom side of the table, but he is standing and walking like he is used to doing so. So that'd make him maybe...2 years old?)
Other than that I have a dog running up to me in the snow and knocking me down. His head was on the same level as mine, but I'm a little older. I cried, hoping my mom would hear me and come out. But she didn't, so I stopped crying and headed for the back door of the house to go in. That's where that memory cuts off.

When I was about 4 our family went to a festa, which is a Portuguese festival. My brother and sister were given a helium baloon and somehow I didn't get one. Walking through the crowds we came across a friend of the family who recognized I didn't have a baloon and he wondered why. Well he bought me a huge helium baloon that made my brothers and sisters baloons look like ping-pong balls. As proud as I was with my baloon I somehow felt sorry for my brother and sister for not having one like mine. I loved that baloon so much I never wanted to part with it. I had it for days until it slipped from my fingers and and went straight for the sky forever. My mother told me years later that I cried for two days. I kind of wonder if it has anything with me and my personality today. I'm a little detatched, and at 48 have never been married. It is not by design, but sometimes I feel like I'm in the middle of a vast ocean driffting aimlessly just like my beautiful baloon.

I think this is a lovely, thought provoking question. Unfortunately, I have way too many early memories to decide which to choose from. They have all shaped me in some way or another, and since I came from a dysfunctional family (alcohol abuse, illness, sibling physical and mental abuse) I know that gave me a low sense of self esteem. You can hear that you won't amount to much for so long before you start to believe it after all.

Similar age, around 4-5 ... 36 now ... And was moving from Swindon to Newbury, all excited about a new house and stuff.
It could be said that it was a sign of who i was to be, having moved around so much in my adult life. 10 moves in 15 years from the age of 22. But could also just be associated coincidence. As Konnie says, I also have a lot of early life memories, like going to the corner-shop Hardware shop (I am no DIY enthusiast), walking to the shops in town with my my and little brother in pushchair (I am no fan of shopping and not a child-minder) .... But all said, interesting question.
I'd say in reality, Pasties have shaped me more than early life memories. : )
