personality vs lifestyle

Personality:


The quality or condition of being a person.
And that based on the character or behavior that are different from on person to another.


People might have similar personalities they might share things in common but they can’t have the exact same personality.

Definition from a dictionary:

The quality or condition of being a person.
The totality of qualities and traits, as of character or behavior, that are peculiar to a specific person.
The pattern of collective character, behavioral, temperamental, emotional, and mental traits of a person: Though their personalities differed, they got along as friends.
Distinctive qualities of a person, especially those distinguishing personal characteristics that make one socially appealing: won the election more on personality than on capability.

A personality consist of the following:

- attitude
- belief
- intention
- behavior


personality is about a range of internal factors that prompts an individual to think or act in particular ways.

In my opinion, personality is an outward exposition of the inner part of a person. Some people can act out personality but not for a long time, couse it sips out somehow.



How’s personality different then a lifestyle?

Way of living of individuals, families (households), and societies, which they manifest in coping with their physical, psychological, social, and economic environments on a day-to-day basis. Lifestyle is expressed in both work and leisure behavior patterns and (on an individual basis) in activities, attitudes, interests, opinions, values, and allocation of income. It also reflects people's self image or self concept; the way they see themselves and believe they are seen by the others. Lifestyle is a composite of motivations, needs, and wants and is influenced by factors such as culture, family, reference groups, and social class.

from my point view:

A lifestyle is a way of life or style of living that reflects the attitudes and values of a person or group.People has different lifestyles ..some of those lifestyles are good and some are not.. some are interesting and some aren't ..It depends on each person and how he/she live their life...

Some of those lifestyles are ordinary and some are extraordinary.....

We can choose our personality and how we want it to be.. we can control our personality somehow .. we can also fake it for a while..

 but we can't choose our lifestyle it just happen...we can improve it .. change it a bit .. 

That's what I think is the difference between a personality and a lifestyle....
