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?
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.
That’s not new, it goes back decades, and it has nothing to do with gender or sexuality. (fellow hsp here) https://hsperson.com/

I’m worried I could get downvoted for this, but that’s how I reacted when one of my friends came out. I just said “Cool?” And they got super offended. I was confused, did you want me to start freaking out and scream “OH IM SO PROUD OF YOU”?
Same thing happened to me. We were best friends for years and I had my suspicions but I never cared one way or the other. When he did come out to me, because in my mind it wasn't a big deal I didn't get excited for him. He stopped talking to me. In retrospect, this was something hard for him to do and I should have been excited that he was finally comfortable being himself rather than he was gay. I didn't see it that way then and I lost a friend over it. I should have been more supportive and understanding that even if it wasn't a huge deal to me it was for him.

As a lover of rainbows for the sake of loving rainbows, I can't stand that the rainbow has been symbolized to the point wearing anything rainbow gets pointed at and questioned if it means I'm donning rainbow in supporting LGBTQ. Sometimes with negative tones. I don't have a problem with the community and the people. I just want to like rainbows without it being assumed it means anything bigger than that. I would love a rainbow wedding. Actually, I can't stand how there's still so much hate towards the LGBTQ groups and all they represent. If more people would just accept it then people won't think so bad about rainbows and everything else.
Rainbows? I once listened to a guy go on a rant about the “f*****ty-a**” purple tape at a hardware store. I saw purple tape, he saw xxx man lovin. I can’t help but feel some people are so repressed they may be on the verge of rupturing
Load More Replies... sadly, some people have turned their gender identity and fluidity into a hobby and social media genre. Has it helped normalize gender recognition, yes, but it takes away from the reality of sexual/gender self realization. my thoughts. i want people to be who they truly wish to be/am but honesty and integrity are part of it.
I don't get being no-binary, like, read about it but they explain what it is, not how you get into that conclusion. I like to be sensitive about it but is like someone tells me they're not human anymore, they are fruits from now on. I get being gay being bi, being asexual, but non-binary makes not sense to me. And I'm not invalidating that identity, but is something I cannot comprehend. Sorry if it sounds invalidating, but is not, is my lack of understanding.
I’m non-binary many people describe it in many different ways but I think it’s like being neither a man or a woman

In recent years, the LGBT community has turned to sheet. They are no longer welcoming. You have to fit a certain set of standards. That's NOT how it works, people!!!
I don't know what part of the community you saw, but I never met any of that. I'm a new member, and I've never met a more accepting group of people, maybe except furries and CTYI people XD

There's a woman in my building who, from the moment I met her, discussed her sex-change operation. This seems to be her singular topic. So, I avoid her. Not because she's trans (I don't avoid my other trans neighbors/friends), but because it's all she talks about.
Gender and sexual preference only matter if you want to have a sexual relationship with someone
You obviously don't understand how being forced into the closet can cause folks to wrap their identity around being LGBTQ when they do come out. If your shackles were taken off you'd be shouting it from the rooftops too.
Being lgbt is not an accomplishment. You were born like that. Stfu and live your life.
I have a friend who fits this. Every pic he shares always has a pride flag. No matter the context, event, etc. it’s all he shows of himself and I think it’s a shame.
Sounds like he needs better, more understanding friends.

I figure this will calm down soon. Right now were going through the process of working out terminology and definitions of what the different genders actually mean. A lot of people are learning new things about themselves, even for those it doesn't make much of an impact on. So there's a lot of talk about it all whilst we work it out.
The only point I see is that people tend to disregard minorities’ needs when/because they are not visible. Assigning names to things and being proud of being a minority is a way to be seen and respected.
If I meet someone new I’m not automatically gonna say I’m trans but eventually some convo pops up in wich me being trans is relevant so then I say it. Like I’m gonna have a trans pin on my bag but if you don’t point it out I’m not gonna mention it
I've really don't give a f**k if you are gay, straight, bi whatever else there is now (it's all just way too confusing) Just as long as everybody is a consenting adult and we all practice safe sex.
I don't like it when it's all peoples' personality is. I think the factor is becoming so big to people because they've never been able to safely express this before. Just a thought, and I have noticed that my closeted friends tend to make a big piece of their personality when they're around people they trust. It's because when they go back home it has to get shut off. I think people are just happy they can feel it out loud sometimes. All that said, I agree!
With the gender thing, some people get hurt when they're misgendered. It's great that some people don't care and can be fine with it but that's not how everyone is.
I'm asexual, but there's a quote I really love: "Identity is not a replacement for character." Your whole personality shouldn't be based off your sexuality. Being gay/bi/trans/etc is not a personality trait, just as being asexual is not.
My wife had to call someone in her (large) company. She said, "Hi, is this Karen?" Karen: "This is they." How about just a simple "Yes", Karen?
And then everybody clapped. Sorry, it's really hard to believe that, unless your wife heard them wrong

i don't get this either like introducing yourself and announcing your pronouns like how is that relevant if i misgender you by mistake feel free to correct me but otherwise its not really relevant is it unless that is the subject of conversation
To be honest I'd prefer for someone to give their pronouns straight away, it's easier to avoid the awkwardness of misgendering someone, especially if you're talking one on one and you don't get to hear how others refer to them
Load More Replies... The notion that sexuality and its representation are unimportant is sustainable only through heteronormative blindness. In fact, every human being expresses and represents their sexuality more energetically than we do anything else. The blindness comes from regarding heterosexual representation not as that, but as simply "normal."
I know lots of people that are members of the LGBTQIA community and they don't make that their entire existence. My little brother has a transgender friend and none of their friend group make a big deal out of it. They just treat him like he's been a guy forever.
It’s not anybody’s business but I’m curious how people talked about themselves before the big LGBTQI… push? Why as soon as it was in the spot light people who would have never thought twice about labeling themselves all of the sudden are.. ( not going give example, I might leave one out and offend someone)? I’m overweight I don’t go around making sure everybody hears me say I’m fat, chunky, bloated whatever the poison is for today. Just like RBF your actions speak for themselves and those who want to know will ask what’s up and if we don’t want to know we can walk on by👍🏼😳
I'm proud of my identity in the LGBT community, and online I mention it in bio's on twitter etc, but it's not something that comes into conversation and something I base my life around. .-.
I am am HSP (also Lesbian, btw) and it affects every facet of my life. Learning more about it, reframing memories, understanding "why"; those are life-changing events. Sometimes the need to share about oneself reflects comfort and trust. Other times it is ego-driven, attention-seeking behavior. Difficult to strike a balance when neurodivergent.
LGB are all the letters. Everything else is made up by boring people trying to be interesting. I will never ever use "your" pronouns.
You're a garbage person incapable of respecting others.

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.
Loving Disney.
I mean, it's good to know if you're going to join me if I bust out some "I'll Make a Man" in public, but you can have other dimensions too.
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.
Note: this post originally had 69 images. It’s been shortened to the top 50 images based on user votes.
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.

Well what a lovely list of self righteous twits giving there opinions- often clearly rooted in forms of misogyny or internalized homophobia.

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.

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.
