[deep]Do you believe personality traits are learned? or are they in your genes.
I mean theres the cases of chemical imbalances and all that stuff..but i mean
if your birth parents were mean and yelled, or really nice....or what ever, but you were adopted...would you show any of their characteristics or would you be a product of your adoptive parents?[/deep] |

I believe it's more of how you are brought up. Someone once said that "if you were to clone someone, in order for them to be 'exactly' the same, they would have to be raised exactly the same." |

90% from your environment, 10% from your genes. There are many horomones that affect your behavior, that are directly influenced by your genes.

I think that even then, the universe is too random for that to ever be possible. |

I have him on ignore, just so I don't see it.
Don't worry, I still read what you write Btg!
I don't think they are genetic. You can have similar traits as your family but not identical. |

Well... your family would have similar genes too. |

Personally I hate the medicine that I'm on. I'm not "fully" epileptic, rather I just have a problem with strobe lights and exhaustion, but I'm still on medicine that's for people that are fully epileptic. It makes me tired as hell, and I feel dumb as , partially due to the fact that the medicine actually slows down your brain activity, so I only take it if I know I'm going to be in a place with strobes.
Oh, it also makes me feel about 10x more drunk than I actually am. |
