Your true personality is, your ability to mimic, and portray the traits of others that you admire. You're a collection of people that interest you and that you have a fondness for. You are selfless and that's not all that bad.

My mother grew up with a neighbor who analyzed an individuals character solely based off their handwriting. My grandma married my step grandpa when my mother was 11 years old and this neighbor did a free analysis for each of them. Within my step-grandpas analysis it was revealed that he was narcissistic and had abusive tendencies, flash forward to my mother moving out of her house at the age of 16 to escape the abuse he inflicted on her. It is insane how handwriting can reveal so much.

Reading people is very simple. You just have to look at five basic things and make a mental list of of the information. This will usually give you a general idea about their identity, background and intentions.
The indicators are,
1. Face, this is by far the most important place to look at. You can tell someone, age, ethnicity, mood and even what they are thinking to some extent by looking at their face.
2. Hands, hand gestures, accessories, twitching, and moving fingers in a certain way reveal a lot about their personality.
3. Feet, the kind of shoes they wear, the way they stand, and the way that tap their feet all are indicators of different personality traits
4. Clothing, The way we dress is by far the most basic and important form of self-expression. This is the easiest way to tell how simple or sophisticated, indoorsy or outgoing, easy-going or high maintenance someone is.

5. Posture, Someone's posture is a direct reflection of their confidence and what they believe about themselves
.
I devised this method by studying police manuals, airport security and lots and lots of trial and error. The best way to get good at reading people is to practise. I used to be a martial arts teacher, I've worked in sales for years so I've had plenty of time to hone this skill. It will be difficult in the beginning and you'll be wrong most of the time but with time you'll become a real-life Sherlock Holmes or James bond.
I'm not saying that I'm there yet I still make a lot of wrong guesses. But, mastering anything is a journey, not a destination

If you're struggling to discover yourself what helped me is I stopped viewing myself from others and stopped trying to portray myself as me and I just started doing what I wanted. Once I learned what I wanted to do and what I wanted in myself I developed a personality and now I just do what I want and let others perceive me how they will, stop micromanaging and start living

1) Clothing preference (Casual – low conformist, want to be free)
2) Shopping (Offline – extroverted. That's false I'm an introvert.)
3) Daily routine (high agreeable, wash dishes and sing in the shower 😆 that's true)
4) Professional stress (view from a negative lense. Neurotic and highly agreeable. Yep that's true too.)
5) Walking style (slow with soft steps – introverted)
6) Hobbies (open people will be likely to take part in literature, art and aesthetic which is true about me).
7) Writing. (I don't know about my writing style.)😕😆

1. Clothing preference - Depends on mood. Sweat pants, baggy tshirts if depressed; non-formal buttoned shirts, pants, fedoras, sometimes a blazer if feeling good and confident. I enjoy my freedom, but I also enjoy mixing it up with a bit of order in my sense of fashion.

2. Shopping habits - I personally prefer to shop in person, but I'm an introvert. I've gotten much better at not to spend impulsively. I treat myself only once in a while.

3. Daily routines - I hate cleaning, but do it anyway. I admit, I'm not always an agreeable person.

4. Professional stress - View from negative lens. True. I worry over minute details sometimes.

5. Walking style - My steps are soft, but I walk fast (or slow if I'm depressed, hahaha). Still introverted.

6. Hobbies - I write and play music. I do enjoy opening up to new experiences.

7. Written words - My writing style is... all over the place. Sometimes it's vertical, sometimes it's (moderately) right-slanted. P2G never talked about moderate right slant handwriting, so idk what it means.

This really helped me dig deeper into myself and find some more of who I am. People have been trying to help me drift away from depression, which my parents think I chemically have. But the darkness just keeps luring me in, and I just lose myself. And watching your channel helped me understand more symptoms of depression, phobias I had, anxiety, etc. And your goal to spread psychology across the world is a big goal to have. But you keep going with a smile across your face! This channel is just amazing! Thank you!

I was 6 when I figured out that the faster you get from point A to point B, the more time you spend actually doing something at the point B. So I subconsciously always walk fast and seem super aggressive while I'm probably nicest person you'll meet. These are good traits to follow and recognize but exceptions will always be there lol

[jaorlowski]

1. being on time.
2. smiling in order to hide negative emotions from your peers.
3. Being comfortable looking someone in the eyes.

I feel like your music taste is a big one too. Scrolling through old playlists always tells me what headspace I was in at that time.

Clothing Preference is a bit hard pick. I just like how casual, secured, yet formal looking some colored clothing are.
I tend to wear casual business clothing like polo/shirt/blouse with jeans or skirts. Most of the "going out" clothes in my wardrobe are that since those are hand-me-downs from my mother, but my preference for casual business clothes was way before she gave me these clothes. In rush days, I wear a colored polo or shirt with jeans, and if not, I wear a polo or shirt with a skirt, or if it's available in my wardrobe, I wear dresses.
How I pick my dresses tends to scale on how it can cover my chests, the skirt should be knee-length or longer-- I tend to lean closer to skirts that are "flowy" or the kind that looks like it has a bloomer underneath. If a dress shows a lot of shoulders, I would resort to covering it up with a cardigan or blazer. I don't really care of these criteria if being "flashy" is mandatory in a formal setting like parties and events.
I received a few comments from my classmates that I dress like a teacher; if I was left to choose an outfit combination outside of my mom's hand-me-downs, she would make comments saying I looked too old (because I would wear a really frilly, long-sleeved polo with a "formal" looking skirt; some schoolmates would mistaken me for being a teacher too whenever casual clothes are allowed in school. Well, I could say that I wear casual business clothing that have colors or embroidery. I've also preferred adding a small shoulder bag in my person.

I love tweaking my personality. It's so satisfying to know it's doable. Each change is easier than the last.

I think that something else that shows your true personality is the way you talk.

Loud and straightforward = Someone who wants to get something done or is very determined

Soft and subtle = Someone who doesn't really like to express their true feelings and would rather aggre with others

Expressive and Chill = Someone who is very laid back and would rather go with the flow than change it

Opposite gender and Different = Someone who wants to be the Opposite gender of themselves so they try to talk and/or sound like the Opposite gender

Inspired and Taken = Someone who tries to talk like someone famous or someone that has a great personality or use of words, so they decide to copy it

Sorry that took so long-

In terms of writing, it looks like this also depends on your ethnicity or other factors because in my surrounding you can hardly see people writing in a left slant rather they prefer the right one. My friend writes in an extreme right slant and I have never seen her being an impulsive person or lacking self-control. Going further, there is either a correlation between the country and writing or this field is only in the process of discovering as different sources state opposite information
