Now, I know that the surroundings play an important role but I don't want to discuss that. I want to discuss about the aspects that we pick for ourselves.
Now, our personality definitely consists some default things but, how to choose what to add? You add something good and good and good, now it's too good. So you add some bad and bad and bad,now it's too bad. The question is, how to decide what is good and bad and how much to add it to our personality? One thing might be good and right for me but, offensive to people with the thickest skin.

And let's be real, we have to think about people, we are living in a society.
Also, people say that, "Be Yourself". But what is myself? And what is to say that it is right for me and the people I love?
There's also the part where you choose to involve a particular trait but you aren't capable of it. For eg: I want to be funny but, no matter how hard I try, I constantly come off as unfunny. So I decide to include a triat I can actually do like, keeping calm or something.
Because lately I have been giving a lots of thought about my personality and it has raised some pretty good questions
Also, do I need some sleep?

Firstly. Yes you do need sleep.
Second, our personality is extremely intricate down to the very first moments we had as an infant and even our experiences inside the womb. Some traits or aspects of our personality, like you said are involuntary and are just inbuilt into us from a long line of experiences, in fact most of our personality is like this, not many traits are "chosen". Unless I've misinterpreted your text, you can't really "add" things into your personality. I guess you could say you can accentuate things about yourself but personally, if you're making an effort to that than you're not actually being yourself. Being yourself shouldn't take effort. There's a lot of other things I could say but I won't cause I myself need sleep and personality is also a very broad subject that can be unpacked and talked about for ages if you wanted to, from many different angles.

Hmm, Sleep well.
Also, @guest_ What are your opinions?

@spooky, I think it's easy to get mixed up between one's personality and how they present themselves to others. For instance, I can be pretty withdrawn in social situations, but often try to be friendlier than I feel because I feel the need or desire to be more outgoing. You can certainly change patterns and behavior, but I think your personality is more about the motivations behind those things. Am I making sense?

Yup you are. The motivation behind certain patterns and behaviours is called personality, according to you. That's also a new point of view I can see through.
