"Speak so that I may know you."
Socrates.
Personality said by a dictionary: are qualities that distinguish a person; that is, it turns out to be that which makes you different from the rest.
In my opinion, personality is the different faces that we present to the world about ourselves. Of course, everything has or is related to our essence. A pear tree will never give apples but that same tree has different moments: from its birth as an insignificant and common seed; however, there is life in it. Being a fairly young plant it may seem basic, but no one can imagine all the potential it could have within itself. However, circumstances can also affect all this growth that is natural to happen.
Poor irrigation, adverse or unfavorable eventualities, which will eventually condition its adult life. And finally comes the part where we all give our opinion; the time to bear fruit. These can be small, regular or optimal.
-This is a great tree, it bears good fruit, but they do not stop in retrospect, to observe the effort and dedication that went into getting there. Even the same tree can give different quality of fruits, depending on the season, if there was an appropriate irrigation or if there was simply no irrigation at all.
So it happens with people, the vast majority will not have even the slightest idea of all the potential that they themselves have; for different reasons: either by constant criticism, being in the least appropriate place for them or because they did not know how to take advantage of life's opportunities.
Very particularly, not everyone with whom I interact or live with may have the same idea of me, I can be somber, cold, sweet, tender, but they will not get the same way of treating them either.
There are circumstances that mark us, there are people that make us flourish the best of us but it is in our hands to always show a good attitude and be at peace with ourselves which is what really matters.
