Birth Order and Personality traits?
I have five siblings. Our ages are as follows: 25, 23, 16, 12, 10, 6 As the oldest, I exhibit firstborn mentality. My second sibling exhibits that of a last-born (no doubt due to the gap between the two of us and the other kids). The 16 year old acts as a first-born, the 12 and 10 (especially the ten year old) have a bad case of middle child going on, and the last one is a typical last child. Based on that, I think your two-year old would be more like a first-born than a middle child.

Do children inherit their personalities from their parents?
ita a little of both. as youg kids, they are with their parents a lot. they start to develope behaviors that they have learned form example. as they get to school they start to develope other traits, and they start to change...... for an example my family says that i was like my mom when i was little, i was sweet and caring, no temper, calm.. but now they say im like my father. i am short tempered, can go on a verbal rage (not proud of) . i still carry some personalities from my mother.. but develpoed some from my father.... other personalities that i carry are from what i leanred from others... from school, nieghborhs...friends... so to answer ur question yes children develope similar characteristics from their parents, but s=do develope other characteristics on their own from expieriences...
As a child of physically and emotionally abusive parents, I am deeply ashamed of what I have become. Here are some personality traits that I can trace back to my childhood conditions:Inferiority complex. Being brainwashed into believing I am worth nothing, lower than a human being. I still unconsciously believe this, despite rational explanations.Impulsive liar. This is not only cause by my abuse but the bullies in primary school as well. Which lead me to think that there is something deeply wrong with me. And I start lying to cover it up, to “get along”. I've become more genuine but there are times when I'd still lie automatically in fear of displeasing others.Lack of a sense of identity. Being emotionally neglected, I didn't have the time to develop a sense of identity and still somewhat struggle with the definition of self.Emotional inadequacy. To me, there is two types of emotions, the unacceptable ones (like apathy and aggression), that are despicale even though they are prominent. The rarer type are “normal” emotions, which are feelings I presume everyone has (this includes happy, sad, everything vanilla I saw on the media).Inability to form healthy reltionships. Since I’ve only ever known dysfunctional relationships, I truthfully don't know how to connect with people and always end up cutting contact when things get rough.Anger issues. I am generally a calm person, but there are the rare moments that I may snap. Re-enacting the scenes I saw in the past. Except now, my father is me.Fascination with death and torture. Since the time my father’s beating drove me to attempt suicide when I was 6 or 7, I think of death pretty frequently. And I'd have a desire to take control of people like my father did me. The sheer though is disgusting.The saddest part about child abuse is that some of them goes unnoticed. Even when you share, it's hard for outsiders to grasp the full intensity of what had happened.I wish no one else has to be raised like this, from the bottom of my heart.
What are the characteristics of a cold personality?
Hello, Physchology is a great subject to learn!! I wish you all the best in it! :) Well in order to find the characteristics of a cold personality we have to define the meaning of a "cold personality" A person who has a cold personality is a person who's personality is disliked. It's a person who hides the warm feelings of their heart. You've probably heard the sentence "You have a cold heart" and this phrase or figure of speech comes from this cold personality issue. Okay, Now that we understand the meaning of a cold personality lets talk about the Characteristics and answer your question! I think the best way to determine and examine people's personality's and to be observant of your surroundings. Then you can see which characteristics of a person you like and which characteristics you dislike. To list a few: 1) Rude 2) Greedy 3) Selfish 4) Mean 5) Obnoxious There you are. Of course there are countless more, but i've decided to leave the door open for you to explore yourself. Hope it helps :D
Do you inherit certain personality characteristics or does your personality depend on how you were raised?
combination of both. each individual is definitely born with their own particular attributes, traits as you call them. To a certain extent these can be enhanced or diminished by upbringing and experiences. It is easier to become something if you already started out over in that direction in the first place, and takes work to avoid becoming like that in that situation. But your inbred "talents", if not developed or if worked against, can be made a secondary or minor aspect of who you are, and someone who was born with a much less of a tendency in that direction can definitely develop their tendencies to a much greater extent if their experiences promote that. I suppose the easiest way to see this is to think about athletic ability. A person can become a quite competent, even top notch player at a game with lots of practice even though they started out with only average ability, and a person born with lots of natural ability will not become a top-notch player unless they develop on those inherent talents. We all start out with natural abilities that give us a leg up in one direction and barriers in others, but experiences can bring us to somewhere quite different from where we initially started. EDIT. How in god's name can someone take the nature versus nurture debate about the development of an individual and turn it into a discussion of creationism versus evolution?
You are asking a complicated question really. You are asking about traits, which are aspects of personality. For them to be considered sociopathic traits you would need to be a sociopath. If you don’t go through what makes a sociopath and have the genetic predisposition of sociopathy, the traits are just personality. They become sociopathic traits when they are part of the personality construct of sociopathy.In that case, no. They are not sociopathic traits, they are personality traits that also happen to appear in the trait factors of sociopathy. One does not however, determine the other. Sociopathy is a far more complicated and involved thing to be broken down to the simplistic aspects of presentation.
Can narcissistic abuse cause borderline personality disorder in the victim?This is a really interesting question. Others have addressed that narcissistic abuse may lead to BPD in a child and is not an adult onset disorder. I guess I’m wondering if this question is coming from an adult who is concerned about developing some BPD symptoms after being abused.One of my friends (who knows what I am) came to me earlier this year in an absolute state. She had come out of a relationship with a covert malignant narcissist. She described experiencing what appeared to be an adult-induced form of BPD and was absolutely terrified. This is what I said to her:The extreme invalidation and general head-f*****y of abuse, along with the extreme changes to brain chemistry, can cause some pretty big highs, lows and loss of self. It may also be very difficult to deal with the world or to empathise. This looks an awful lot like BPD but it passes.Narcissistic abuse causes complex-PTSD. If you look up the symptoms (such as dissociation, fractured self, emotional dysregulation) you will see it overlaps with BPD significantly and is therefore sometimes misdiagnosed. It is, however, distinct from BPD and treatable.You likely have narcissistic “fleas”, aka situational narcissism, that you’ve picked up from being around your abuser and from being pushed into a corner. You may, for example, have been uncharacteristically dramatic, angry or even violent. These will disappear as well.Empathic people can be chameleonic like those with BPD and NPD, because they mirror and echo back what they think the other person needs. If they had a narcissistic parent they may also have other traits that look worrying but are really nothing to be afraid of.Perhaps most importantly, you have been gaslit to believe you’re the one at fault. This is so incredibly powerful. My friend had experienced quite possibly the worst case of gaslighting I had ever seen (a true feat) and really believed she was the ill one. She soon felt better though.Hope this helps!
Can you give me some ideas on how to improve some personality features (see details) ?
I respect my parents but I don't like the way they always try to force me to produce the answer that they want to hear. They have always waited for me to say what they want or otherwise caused conflicts or scandals and this forced me to adopt a similar approach to my friends and social environment in general. Apart from that, it made me hesitate upon making a choice and hindered my ability to take the initiative on my own. I do like some of the qualities they tried to pass on to me but this behavior (treating me like a child, since I've already grown up) makes me appear or act as a child. Also, I'm being shy on some occasions and have some other personality traits to work on, but I'd like to just get some ideas and see what people think about this question. I'm working on this myself but some external knowledge might be of use. Thanks in advance.
