Personality Traits or Familial Spirits?
Many of us have certain traits that are part of our personality make-up or nature. These traits or patterns are familial in the sense that they tend to run in our family line. Some people are shy, some are controlling, and others are particular. We tend to laugh off these quirks of nature as they are so common, yet they can negatively affect our functioning. Personality traits are often seen as one’s temperament which is biological in nature. Some of these are there from early childhood and can result in personality disorders. They are labeled as disorders since they manifest as difficulties in relationships and impair day-to-day functioning. Many are able to observe these tendencies in others but are blind to them in themselves.
