What makes you different from your parents and siblings?

Does having siblings affect your personality?
You might have had a friend joke that they suffer from “middle-child syndrome,” but scientists are discovering that a person’s siblings might affect their personality even more than their parents do. And siblings — especially those close in age and of the same gender — can influence each other’s bad health habits.
What leads siblings in a family to have different personalities?
Q: Why are siblings so different? First of all, genetics can account for sibling differences. Siblings usually only share 50 percent of the DNA passed down from their parents. Second of all, even if siblings attend the same school, they may hang out in different crowds, which in turn influences their personality.
What is the difference between ashamed and embarrassed?
The main difference between these words is that “embarrassed” is about what other people think of you, while “ashamed” is more about what you think of yourself. That’s why you can never feel embarrassed when you’re alone. Being ashamed, however, is something personal. It’s often related to feeling guilty.
Why Teenagers are ashamed of their parents?
