Relationships Create Character And Personality.
Without interaction in relationships, one has absolutely no character. Display facts to the contrary, I dare you.

I strongly agree. Without someone there for you, or someone to always count on no matter what, your personality could change. Relationships, or shall i say strong relationships that are happy and have a strong foundation make both the participates very happy.

The ones in the relationship enjoy themselves and enjoy life. Since i have been in my relationship i have grown as a character. I am far more better at expressing myself. I am much more mature, I have better respect for people and I am on the right path instead of the wrong one i was heading down.

There is nothing like knowing that this one person know everything about you and can tell you what kind of mood you're in or if you're smiling by the sound of your voice. When you have that it just makes you know that it is great, the feelings, the memories, the whole relationship itself.

 Everyone wants a good relationship.
The question was not about how having a good relationship is wonderful to experience, but it was about whether you could have any character without a relationship.

Absolutely. A relationship will bring to surface your greatest defects of character. Kind of a mixed blessing. If you have some humility you will fare better and you may actually improve your general being. People will only change if they absolutely have to, and the risk of losing someone you love is sometimes enough to change you (but often not).

I know that i have grown as a person from being in a committed relationship. I appreciate everything differently and my life has become so much better. Me as a person, i am more mature and the best of him has come to me, and the best of me has gone to him.

 Yes, but you were grown when you commited yourself, even before this recent commitment,
you might of had others as an adult. You felt mature enough in the pass to commit yourself, intersting, when people say grow, sounds like grow tired of being boisterous or grow commplacent. Are we ever as grown up as we make ourselves out to be?

Relationships do create a lot of personality and character. Through all the relationships you will go through before you settle down, you will learn so much about yourself. Plus, you will go through a lot of heartache, but that teaches you also. All the different people out there with different personalities and likes and dislikes, you will learn the most of anything in your life from the reltionships you go through. I know that when I was dating, I ran into all kinds. Intellectual, people that partied all the time, boring guys and then really fun guys who I had a lot in common with. The biggest lesson I learned is that you cannot make someone change. They just won't do it unless they really want to and it takes a lot of time for the change to occur. So, if you meet someone, you think you can change them, don't count on it.

 Nice words. Two of the best pieces of advice i was given were: I am responsible for my happiness, and it is completely unreasonable to expect someone else to change.

Baccus, Dear Chap, we are all interacting together here.
We share thoughts and challenge each others beliefs.
I think we can develop something or stimulate it through interaction with others, but not create it.

No. Character, or moral integrity, is created by each individual CHOICE you make/made.....

Integrity, like fabric/cloth, can be re-woven/restored thread by thread ;choice by choice, made WHOLE again, just the same way you ripped it tore it down. Lessened your own self.

You can be rebuilt. By CHOICES you make.
The choices you make today indicate your life-quality tomorrow.

You should have your own character or personality before you enter a relationship or its like dating a doorknob- not exiting or fun at all.

I agree with flash; personality is not created, it is developed and can be influenced, but you can't naturally make alternate egos wherever you go with different people.

I believe that people have no personality what so ever and that people just imagine that they do.

I disagree with this debate. I think that people are born with character and personality. Regardless of rather a person has relationships with other people or not, they will have a character and a personality. However, I do agree that being in relationships helps people develop attitudes. If you are forced to be around people you do not like, you will develop an attitude of resentment. However, it will not change your personality or character. You will always be who you are no matter who you have relationships with. I also believe that your attitude and character are predetermined and cannot be changed. You can try to change who you are, but you really never can change. Every time you try to change, it only last for a short period, and you will always return to who you really are. Character and personality are predetermined in one's DNA and cannot be changed or altered by other people.
