I have a lot of different traits to my personality, depending on who I'm around, and what the dynamic in the situation is.

Personality is less a finished product than a transitive process. While it has some stable features, it is at the same time continually undergoing change.

Personality traits form at an early age and are fixed by early adulthood. Many important things about you change over the course of your lifetime, but your personality isn't one of them.

I wasn't a friendly child. I was reserved and mostly kept to myself. My family tells me they've noticed a sea change in me after I've grown up. But I guess that's natural. Your surroundings, friends, college, etc. do make a lot of difference to your personality.

Every child is so different. Their experience growing up and their experience relating to the world has so much to do with their temperament, and their likes and their dislikes.

Some of the words and symbols and images from childhood will continually be part and parcel of my personality.

I think there's a really mature side of me that can deal with problems - but when I'm with my friends, I get to act much more kidlike.
