From introverted and gentle to extroverted and eccentric, the human personality is a complex and colorful thing. It describes our distinctive patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving and derives from a mix of innate dispositions and inclinations along with environmental factors and experiences.
But sometimes, people give the impression that they have a very narrow definition of self. Interested in such cases, Reddit user StandardGenre45 made a post on the platform, asking everyone "What's something that people turn into their whole personality?" And it blew up—so far, the post has 28.3K comments. Here are some of the most interesting ones.

Being gay.
I'm myself gay but that's hardly something I communicate about unless being specifically asked about. Yet I've met a few who center their whole life and personality around that. They have to do ,"gay thing". All their behavior, taste and enjoyment and justified by "it's a gay thing".
Funny thing I've already been told something along the lines of "yeah it's pretty common among us gay people, you wouldn't know about it".
I don't understand, like if I were asked to describe myself it'd go along those lines
- french that grew up in Quebec Canada.
- love sciences and physics, studied that.
- into video games and phantasy
- big on family values n stuff
- I like languages, learned Japanese and German (although German is quite rusty now)
- my favorite food are sushi pizza and french sausage.
- I love beer 🍺 !
Then down down down the line
- I'm gay
But I dunno, I don't see people going around saying they're straight, I don't see why that should be something I say.
I just baffles me and I find it really sad... Are you so void of personality that "gay" is your number one trait ? The one thing describe you Is the type of hole you like to put your d@ck in?
Done with my rant xD
Mental Health issues that they don't actually have. Being "uncomfortable" because some papers aren't straight isn't OCD Stacy. And having high energy doesn't make you Manic. Stop turning people's disabilities into something "quirky".
Person with Psychology degree here (and Sociology, too) This REALLY irritates me. Especially since 99% of the time, they haven't the slightest idea what the actual symptoms of the syndrome or disorder with which they claim to be be afflicted are...
Being American. Put that flag away. No one gives a s**t.
Flag, fine. Overly fake patriotic and "go back to your own country" kind of people can get f****d.
Their Faith or lack of faith. I've seen Christians become hyper religious and force their beliefs on everyone around them and alternatively I've seen Atheists become toxic and anyone who deters from their worldview even slightly is a complete moron.
Let YOUR beliefs be just that YOURS and not everyone else's.
Yes ! And stop knocking on my door on weekends and pushing your religion in my face.
Being bloody vegan.
It is fine if your sharing food and you tell them you can't eat it because your vegan. Right?
Sure, but not if you base your life around it or annoy others to get them to be vegan

How about we let people eat what they choose to eat without forcing our diets or food choices on them. Eating meat is not bad just as being vegan isn't bad either.
Omnivore here. Yeaaah, eating meat *is* kinda bad. Human beings' insatiable appetite for the stuff is contributing to climate change and is unsustainable. And while carrots and broccoli florets do not possess sentience, pigs and cows definitely do.

Yes, there are overbearing vegans, no doubt about it, and there are also overbearing meat eaters who don't waste an opportunity to rag on vegans. I've been harassed multiple times by meat eaters, when I'm just minding my own business and eating my food. How about we all try a little harder to respect each other?
Genuine question here. How did they know you are vegan? Did they just see your food (lack of meat) and decided to harass you?

I rarely tell people I'm vegan because of the negative stereotypes it has acquired. I have enough anxiety as it is, I don't want people questioning my eating habits and expecting me to have a heated debate about it. You eat meat? That sucks, but I sure as heck won't be telling you to change how you live.
I don't know why you were downvoted. I am a vegetarian (not a vegan) and I never bring it up myself. I never tell people how or what they should eat, but in the past I have had people that were downright hostile towards me upon finding out that I don't eat meat.

I was wondering when "being vegan" was going to pop up; I honestly considered mentioning it myself, and I am vegan. There are definitely some Level 1000 Jerk Vegans floating around. Many vegans can't stand those people, either. I do agree with some of the other comments that it's often those who are new to the lifestyle. Do I tell others that I am vegan? Yep. Am I proud to live my life this way? Yep. Do I wish that everyone was vegan? Also yep. Do I expect that to happen in my lifetime? Nope. Heck - I've been happily married for 27 years to a supportive and non-judgmental omnivore. I firmly believe in "you do you." The only time that I start to get snotty is when someone doesn't accept my choices, even though I am more than willing to accept theirs.
Veganism is a philosophy and way of living (not a diet) which seeks to exclude - as far as is possible and praticable - all forms of animal exploitation of, and cruelty to animals fpr food, clothing or any other purpose. A lot if not most of the pushy vegans I have come across have been within their first few years of veganism and struggling to comprehend why everybody else is contribution to exploitation, however there is also a point when they realise that it took them until X to have that epiphany and you have to let those who will have that experience get there in their own way, but there is zero wrong with feeding them lush vegan food and gifting lovely vegan gifts. I always said that I may be able to cope with being vegetarian but vegan was super extreme and when I made that step it was hard, the Internet wasn't about and good luck finding a vegan cookbook lol. Now it's sooo much easier, there are a lot of accidently vegan foods available now (until recently and yo this day most werent developed with vegetarians or vegans in mind (except the cardboard burger and scary bacon) but for people with allergies to dairy, eggs, gluten etc. Unfortunately being vegan became trendy, I believe a lot to do with aspiring social media influences looking for an in, but those who take up the mantal due to that don't generally stick to it or eat a plant based diet and call themselves vegan, however veganism isn't a diet, or even a weight loss plan, it is a philosophy, very much like Buddism, and attacking people for being vegan is considered (and terrible wording, but legal terminology) a hate crime.
THAT! This isn't just a mere dietary choice. That just happens to be most visible to others in daily life, but it is much, much more than just that.

After reading the comments here, and generally having met the local antivegan idiots, it seems NOT being a vegan is shoved down many more throats, far more, than being vegan. Most of the preachery stories aren't even remotely believable, let alone anywhere near likely. I for myself just want to eat, and not be told off with unbelievable tales and ridiculous justifications I never asked for, nor would be the person to justify to in the first place. I'm not heaven's gatekeeper...
Through most of my life I found it difficult to put on healthy weight and people never voiced their concerns because they just assumed I was happy with being slim. I hated it and no matter what I did I couldn't put on weight. Then I watched way too many documentaries and decided to become a pescatarian and my body decided to begin to add weight. My family didn't know what it was and assumed it was a fad, but I stuck to it. Now I'm a healthy weight, I don't look sick, but I don't push my choices on others. I chose it because I was tired of looking sick and constantly being tired.
I respect anyone who can make this type of disciplined commitment part of their lifestyle, but please, unless I'm forcing meat down your throat, don't shove your views down mine.
To be honest, being vegan does take a lot of effort. Less now than a few years ago, but the fact that you probably have to come prepared to wherever you're going does take a central role in your life and is everpresent. So that's normal. What is not is the self righteous attitude a lot of vegans exhibit.
I have not met any militant vegans yet, but I have read about them here and I always am surprised that people put up with their nonsense. I understand that you are vegan, but leave everyone else alone.
Most preachy-vegan-stories are completely made up anyway...

We are moderate Christian's. We aren't going to knock on your doors and ask if you have time for Jesus and not condemn your life choices. Our daughter has been vegan, vegetarian and raw and currently doesn't eat pork. She got over them all but still will not eat pork because the Old Testament. And won't stop arguing about it long enough to be shown the New Testament. So we just don't serve pork when she comes to eat. If I make twice baked potatoes, I make a lite ramimkin without bacon for her. Same with green beans and guacamole. We don't discuss it but I can easily fix something she could eat I'll do it. If we are somewhere with no vegan option, she will figure it out and not complain. I wish they could all be that harmonious to live with lol
Trying to bend others to their foodie will is pretty much the same scenario as religious proselytizing. Think of it this way: The oxygen all animals need, and that includes us, is produced by plants. Shouldn't we be consuming plant eaters instead of the plants we need to breathe? Mass veganism will NOT result in flocks and herds of happy animals living out their lives in farm sanctuaries. Instead, those species we have bred to serve our needs will simply disappear. It's also a fallacy to believe that all humans can adapt to such a limited diet without health consequences. American politics trashed the multi-millennial omnivorous diets of Native Americans, giving them diabetes instead.
*inhale* wait what eating plants means we'll die from lack of oxygen? Seriously? And who ever said anything about "flocks and herds of happy animals living out their lives in farm sanctuaries" Of course not! The whole IDEA is that the amount in the species will lessen, stopping animals from being born isn't the same as killing them! There'll probably only be animals for people with dietary requirements, or children who's bodies are developing in this utopia. And with modern technology, most adults can be fully vegan and healthy, as long as they take care of their diet, and usually need to take pills with necessary vitamins.
Load More Replies... i tried being vegan cause its supposed to be healthier and i gained so much weight vegan food is really unhealthy
depends on the vegan food! If you start eating meat for example, and only live of chicken nuggets and mcdonalds, then of course you won't be healthy. Same with vegan food!

this annoys me i got no problem with vegans you got your reasons for being vegan fine but when they try to force it on everyone else like storming into steak houses or supermarkets and emptying milk on the ground you don't see people who like meat throwing potatoes on the ground or people storming into a place that sells salads you wanted to be vegan for moral reasons fine well done to you but don't try and force it on others
If you don't want to eat dead animals I say good for you. If you're a pain in the butt about what other people eat not so good.
I've never met a vegan who was having any fun being one. I think they have to self encourage to survive.
Maybe they only stopped having fun when you showed up...

Being LGBTQ, especially the whole gender thing. Like, I consider myself non-binary but I also consider this aspect of mine fairly unimportant to be honest. It's a "nice to know" type of thing for myself but I don't ever feel the need to discuss it with other people. Because what are they going to say about it? "Cool...?" Being non-cis or non-het is not nearly as interesting as some LGBTQ people believe it is. It's just ONE random aspect of someone's personality. There are many other aspects. For example I'm probably a HSP (highly sensitive person). But again, I don't see a point in mentioning this to other people because people who already know aren't going to treat me differently because of a label. They are know how I am/act/talk etc. And people who don't know me (yet) either don't matter or they'll find out about me over time.
So is HSP a thing that it has an abbreviation? Not sure what it is but I feel old now.
I’m Bisexual. No one in my life that hasn’t *asked* knows I’m bisexual, because it’s not my f*****g personality. Most friends I have in the LGBTQ+ community are first and foremost, queer. They’re not introduced to me as doctors, teachers, Germans, Americans, activists, introverts…no, they’re introduced as Queer and often that will be the only thing I know about them for some time.
This is a present issue in the community.
Conspiracy theorist. "Open your eyes, do your own research"
The generation they're born in
I don't know what I am. I'm vaguely curious, but not enough to Google it.
Hair color. If I hear my co-worker talk about how ‘natural red heads’ are or how you shouldn’t mess with them use it as an excuse for a shitty character trait, I’m gonna lose it.
Personality traits have nothing to do with hair colour , blondes do not have more fun, red-heads are not hot tempered, brunettes are not brainy ...we are all different 😊
Guns
😔 I know many of these people. I know people with hundreds of guns. People who share pics of their preschool age kids posing with massive automatic weapons (AK whatever, I have no idea the names). I don’t understand it and I grew up around it. My elementary school was always closed on the first day of deer hunting season.
Their own perceived persecution/ victimization.
"Being suppressed and personally attacked is who I am."
This will get buried, but some of these things become a person's entire personality because it consumes a majority of their life. Typically at a young age.
Kids that saw active duty in Afghanistan, living that 24 hours a day, yeah, probably has a large influence on your personality.
Woman with 3 small kids, raising them while her partner is absent (could be a deadbeat, could be working 18 hrs a day to support them), is gonna have a lot of anecdotes about motherhood.
Point being, some individuals choose not to grow. Some just don't get the opportunity to.
Edit: Thanks for the awards.
It's funny, i saw a lot of violence and death growing up in a conflict zone. I only ever talk about it here. I don't talk about it to my wife or kids. Definitely not to friends. But it can be hard to "just get over it". I still wake up at night screaming. A single mom of three kids, that was my mom. My father was taken when i was little. She never talks about that either. I don't think it's what defines us as people though. My mother is a doctor and educator. I am an engineer and artist. My brothers are a scientist and an architect. We are all voracious readers. Nietzsche said, "to live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering". I think he got it backwards. I think living is looking into the moments between the suffering. Living in the cracks will be joy, springing up like flowers in the sidewalk. You can can keep walking, or you can sprinkle a little water, and watch those flowers bloom. Just don't be too hard on yourself for feeling a little dry sometimes.
Harry Potter and I’m sick of pretending that a 45 year old woman running around saying she’s a f*****g Hufflepuff is normal.

Being a youtuber
here, enjoy a thumbnail i made for such a time YOUTUBEGOB...dcb913.png 
Born-again Evangelicals
My ex-husband became "born again" after we divorced. He hooked up with and married the woman he'd been having an affair with for years. Doesn't get more holy than that...
Having kids
My world does revolve around my son, but I don’t disagree with you. I may tell you a story about my kid but I promise I’ll pick a ridiculous one you will love (wanna hear about when he opened a penis store?) and I will happily listen to your story about your cat, car, job, shirt, whatever because that’s how conversation and relationships work. I will not expect anything because I’m a mama bear and I do not think I’m more important or better. Oh, and I will read you the first time I tell you a kid story and won’t do it again if you’re annoyed or bored. Regardless, I’m guilty of this.
Being overworked and barely sleeping.
Edit: To clarify, this isn’t meant to be an insult. I know exactly how it feels to work an ungodly amount of hours with little to no reprieve. It’s a routine that’s become ingrained in us and I think it’s important to remember being overworked, under slept, and having little to no time to ourselves is not healthy.
I hate when people tell me I look tired And I say "yeah, kinda tired from work" And someone else goes balistic saying they havent slept for X days, had so much work And Kids And husband.. Like ok? I dont have those but I still can feel tired from working 8 hours, 5 days of week, ok? I dont see any glorification in working till your early death
Faking Mental Disorders. Ideally DID and such.
I can understand those who do have these disorders and just want to spread awareness and the struggle in their lives. But be aware that not everybody tells the truth, especially internet influencers. Whether it's for views, money, popularity, or attention.
I get annoyed when people say, "I'm so OCD". I have a friend with OCD. He needs constant help. He's in therapy for stress related anxiety, he can't hold a job. He can't even leave his apartment. Wanting things to be neat and organized isn't a mental illness. Also, getting excited isn't ADHD. It is a serious effective emotional disorder that requires treatment. People with ADHD cannot regulate their emotions in the same way that others can. Being Hyper or lacking Attention is the tip of a much larger proverbial iceberg.
‘Girl bosses’/MLM cult engagers
And social media.
"HEY GIRL. Haven't heard from you since High School. Glad I found you. How have you been? Anyways, I wanted to reach out to invite you to a party. Just a small get-together with some AMAZING friends of mine. We'll have wine and catch up. Have you heard of Keto? When you come by I'll tell you all about it." That was the last I ever heard from her.
Alcohol. It’s so annoying. Constant posts of drink in their hand, every selfie is a drink in their hand. Or a random day during the week “I’m home from work, some one stop me from drinking 🤪”
middle aged woman: "it's WINE O CLOCK HAHAHAHA IM HILARIOUS AND SO QUIRKY gin GIN GIN PROSECCO LOLS" .... (im guilty of liking wine but i dont make it a joke or personality trait)
Pickup trucks. There are people that happen to own pickup trucks, then there are people who's pickup truck owns them.
We all know the type, flood lights, muddn tires, grill racks, lifted, spotless paint with a wax, and optionally a diesel stack coming out of the bed, truck muts, and a snorkel.
I get it, printing out business cards that tell people that you're a douche would be difficult to distribute on the highway at 70mph, but it might be more cost effective than your $100K Raptor.
We call these "Payment Princesses" where i live. I own a pickup truck with an all terrain package because i go backcountry a lot. The truck got detailed because i spilled something sticky inside so it was shiny and perfect. I came out of a store and found a bunch of guys standing around it checking it out. As i approahed, they started asking what other accessories i had or started suggesting some that would not improve my performance. I finally got mad and "It's a (boop) truck. It does truck things. She's not here to look pretty." They were so offended
Smoking weed
I'm a Cannabis-American and I take offense at your denial of my culture /s
being a 'dog mom' or having a 'fur baby'
Sex. I don't even mean sexuality I mean the coomers and the guys who stalk this sub and ask 11 NSFW questions a day about "Hey ladies what do men get wrong about your bods" and "Ladies, what's your sexiest sex sexual experience where sex was had and it was sexy?"
Lust controls some of these people man. They gotta go outside.
Coomers?Stalking subs? Is this in a BDSM club or something? God I feel so old lol
I’m in recovery and there are some people who make their entire personality being in the program. It’s their entire life. I understand it for people who are new because some have literally had to change everything and they NEED recovery to be their life for a while in order to stay clean and stay alive. That’s perfectly fine, but when you have 25 years clean and you still go to 6 meetings a week, go to every single event and your life entirely revolves around it, it might be time to maybe branch out a little.
I’ve distanced myself from these people in the last few years. I stick to the few small meetings that these people don’t frequent, call my sponsor when I need too and have a handful of close friends. Other than that, I have an entire life outside of recovery. I have other friends, hobbies and goals to achieve and don’t really talk about recovery unless I’m asked about
It. I feel this is healthier.
Being a fan Elon musk
You ever see a police officers wife? It's crazy but they turn their entire existence into being a police spouse, it's very odd. I have two neighbors that are police, they younger the wife the more intense the alternate reality they create for themselves. The husbands never mention their profession but the wifes cant shut up about it and try and prove how much they know about local law enforcement.
Sounds like officers' wives in the military. No, your HUSBAND is a Colonel, YOU are the "missus"....not Mrs Colonel Airborne.
Being confidently incorrect.
Anime
I enjoy watching anime. But then I see other folks who spend a ton of money cosplaying Random characters. Going to conventions in those multilayered cosplays. They buy a f**k ton of figurines, posters, swords, flags, etc.
I don't really find that annoying at all. Cause I have a bunch of jerseys, go to professional sporting events and I have like three posters. And I also play Fantasy football in like 4 leagues. A league I've been in for a decade. Two money leagues and a charity league..... I'm sure Fantasy football will be listed here....so I get the passion
What I do find annoying is how they confuse their anime fanhood and convert it to Japan fanhood. Some go as far as thinking Japan is the greatest country and they want to move there. Like look man. Sushi, Ramen, and Tempura is great but Japan is as flawed as most countries and maybe even more flawed than others. Their Work Life Balance is stupid. You often hear about how people work 20 hr days sometimes and die of exhaustion. It's adding on to a declining population. Japan's population declined from 128 mil in early 2010s to 120 mil. There's also High rates of depression and a lack of mental health care in Japan. People aren't as opening as you think they are to. Not saying this is specific to Japan I'm just saying that in Japan isn't as open as you think it is like enjoy the anime
Music, I know some people who are so snobby about their music choices.
As a lifelong improviser, composer, and jazz pianist, I found that no religion can make a human feel the level of joy that music does. It becomes a passion. Should not criticize anyone for surrounding their life with something creative and uplifting!
Politicians they follow
Upon listening to every candidate during election question period, they all sound the same. They all waste time thanking everyone and every opportunity they've had in their life, reminiscing about something that happened in their family 20 years ago and then barely answer the question in the last 2 seconds, and usually going over the time limit. No matter the party, there's very, very little impacts I've noticed in my life that has been changed so dramatically that wouldn't have happened if different party was elected.
Driving a Tesla
When I see one on the road I watch out : a lot of them are driven by rich people without driving skills. Over here they are cheap to run (if you can afford the investment) because of tax write-offs.
Being in the military.
Here it's just a job. Granted : an interesting and sometimes risky one, but done by all kinds of people : straight/gay, morning/evening people, grumpy/friendly, right/left wing, rock/classical/techno lovers....
Their beard. As a guy with a beard it’s annoying. Although it’s not quite as bad as it was 5 years ago or so. We get it. You have a beard
Me : sometimes just too lazy or lacking the energy to shave more than once a week.
Wokeism
Counterpoint: using the word "woke" to mean anything you're having a hissy fit about at the time.
Here in the Netherlands people who live in Amsterdam base their personality on Amsterdam
Their job
I think this varies in different countries/cultures. In the US it’s the very first thing you seem to talk about. It’s how you describe someone briefly, he’s a plumber, lawyer, etc. It plays a role in why people will overwork and not have balanced lives. I think cultures that don’t do this are more rounded. More time with family, more time with friends, more time relaxing, more time for hobbies.

This may be an unpopular opinion but this post is rather ridiculous and judgy and nitpicky. Why does it matter? Is it getting in your way? At the end of the day everyone's personality is going to be associated with and deeply entangled with something external after all.
It is more than someone liking something, what this is about, imo, is people who become completely absorbed into things. That thing is the only thing they can talk about, or every topic somehow makes its way back to that one thing. Fanatics more than fans. They are all encompassed by it.

I don't care what you ride. My only consideration is if you're a rider or a biker. With bikers it's all about the bike and its cult of personality. Riders just ride, sure, they love their bike but as a tool - a fantastic means to an end.

Wow, this is not a good post..... Just because someone gives expression to an important part of their lives, doesn't mean they base their whole personality around that part. This seams more like an post about "what I feel uncomfortable seeing in other people about myself" and that's ok. Just don't express it like this, it makes you seem judgemental and petty.

Really, there shouldn’t be any one thing that defines you. That would be…one dimensional :D I don’t know anyone who taken one thing and made it their entire persona
After reading these and the comments all I can say is...just let people be who they are. If it's not for you, don't participate.
You ride a HONDA (snicker) My bikes outside, where's yours? The road is wet. It might rain, etc. (Went back to my beer)
I don't care what you ride. My only consideration is if you're a rider or a biker. With bikers it's all about the bike and its cult of personality. Riders just ride, sure, they love their bike but as a tool - a fantastic means to an end.
Load More Replies... Wow, this is not a good post..... Just because someone gives expression to an important part of their lives, doesn't mean they base their whole personality around that part. This seams more like an post about "what I feel uncomfortable seeing in other people about myself" and that's ok. Just don't express it like this, it makes you seem judgemental and petty.
