How do you believe you have been shaped from? family, society, yourself….. (39)
Golly, listening to a radio interview, or reading a book can dramatically influence the direction of my life.
So many, many influences.
It would take a lifetime to account for them all.

Hiya Life 
This really is a tough one. I like to think my early childhood experiences with my family, friends and teachers formed my basic values but overall, it's a combination of anything and everything right down to genetics as well. All of these things played a part in my future endeavours which also played a part on who I am today. We are influenced each and every day until we draw our last breath.

Yes 2I, that is quite right we do have so many influences in our life but:

Just guessing because it truly is difficult, I'd say my family was probably the greater influence for me.

About 50/50 nature and nurture. Nature and nurture I actually believe to be a false dichotomy, but I'm not getting into that drunk at 4am after the club.

Hi Life
Mostly my own life experiences, I would say.
My family provided the groundwork early in my childhood and then the rest was up to me. My folks were wonderful providers but not terrific parents, unfortunately.
I've been influenced by mentors, friends, literature etc but mainly have chosen the path less travelled...because I like to experience it for myself.

for me it’s those unscripted moments of observation.
for example……..
last week at the grocery store a bunch of us were watching the most beautiful sunset
while at the park, I saw 3 bucks flushed out of a wooded area by barking dogs.
watching my neighbor’s cat laying on my front lawn watching someone walk their dog down the street.
and those moments when I observe authentic interaction between 2 or more human beings.

My family was a great influence on me too 2I. However, I wonder if it was the biggest one.

Hi Berry!
Yes, mentors, friends, books... do influence us but which ones are the most relevant ones.
When you say mentors I do remember my 3rd. grade teacher, she was special and she did mark my life but she was not the only one.

Moments, yes.
I have some special moments that have shaped my life and I wonder why I can remember them like from being about 3 yr o.
Observation? of course!
So, is it yourself?

No one person or thing stands out for me....it's just been a journey that I have travelled largely alone, influenced by my own perception and understanding of the world.

My family did a great job on me (it does not mean I have taken it all, though)School did too a wonderful work on me, teachers, professors, mentors…. Again (it does not mean I have taken it all, though)
Society has done not much on me because I have not allowed it:
–in my place and in my time-.
How I see life is a personal interpretation of it as you do

Hiya lifeisadream, factors are different depending on age I think.
When I was young, my family had the biggest influence, I don't think school/teachers were a big influence. Of course society, I grew up in a place where I had the opportunity to make my own choices.
As I get older, I am less influenced by other people and do more my own thing.

That seems to sum-up mine as well; having taken all the roads that sane people would reject. Parents were lousy and totally irresponsible, never caring about how they influenced me . I saw the world without coloured lenses or Disney glasses but as place populated to a large extent by the proverbial “quick and the dead” and all the shades of the ‘good, bad, and ugly, and very ugly types that only revelled in causing and inflicting as much pain, sorrow and death on as many people as possible…I guess not having anyone to share those roads with was a good thing thing, or so as I’m still trying to convince myself of that...

Climate has a big influence on people mood/personality.
Can you identify the most important factor that has shaped you as you are at this moment?
Then it is Yourself.Hi K
At this moment it is yourself then.I think everybody can see that you are a good person True but from where does it come?
Can you separate those experiences in a major source? Or several most important sources?
How old are they?
There is the choice of family that includes parents Monte.
What about friends?
