Do you have some traits or mannerisms passed down from your Parents that you are aware off?
My Father used to do crosswords very often.
He had dandruff so was constantly lightly scratching his head with his free hand.
I do crosswords as well. One day I was in a coffee shop doing a crossword and saw my reflection in a mirror. I was scratching my head with my free hand. I did not have dandruff. That view freaked me out.
I taught myself not to scratch my head whilst doing crosswords. Though every now and then I slip back into the annoying habit.
I go around the house switching off things like my father.

The positive is that does save money.

It can be annoying though, if there is still a minute to go on your microwave meal

I grew up from the age of seven without a father. My brother was seven years older than I but he passed away when I was fourteen. I often wonder what a different person I would have been if things had been different

I thought i looked like my mum and had her mannerisms, but for a long time ive been seeing my dad in my reflection. I catch myself in the mirror or a shop window and its my fathers face . I’m less tolerant too . Reminder to self , be more patient

Most of what I have after my mother, with very little of my father - which for me, is a good thing as he was not the nicest of people.

I can very much relate to that. I ended up not particularly liking my father. But sometimes I catch myself using his phrases or demonstrating some of hiss behaviours. Then I have to take myself outside for a word.
