There are a lot of things that influence my personality. For one my boyfriend for sure does. He pretty much is what I base my life on. Anyone who knows me would probably agree with that one. Others would have to be my family and friends. Before my boyfriend came my friends are who I hung around with most of the time. I grew up with them and they basically shaped the way I am. My family came even before my friends so I would have to say they have a lot of influence on my personality. I am very close to my family and after almost 2 years with my boyfriend I consider him as family. My friends would be the second thing and then just our environment would be the third thing. If I lived somewhere else I would believe I would be different then who I am now.
The personality trait theory that makes the most sense to me is Carl Rogers Self Theory. It pretty much is how we see ourselves. It makes us see who we are and also who we would like to be. It lets us show acceptance and approval towards others we want to and other positive things. The theory also says that we have a positive self-concept and fulfillment in a genuine, accepting, and empathic environment. I pretty much use all the defence mechanism. I use them to protect my emotions and just me. Sometimes I don't want to use them but it just happens its automatic.
