Is personality dependent on genes?

Yes and No.

ok. thanks

Partly yes. Environment I think plays a bigger part though. Look up twin studies.

so it isn't my fault that I am angry, bitter virgin that stays at home and plays vidya all day?

Nature + nurture both affect it is the commonly held belief as your experiences shape you in the same way your biologic "programming" does

Probably not, your combination of NEET traits is a result of your environment + genetics, none of which you could have done anything about. That doesn't mean you have no willpower to move past your laziness and it certainly doesn't remove the moral responsibility you have of not disappointing your parents that went through hell to raise you and give you a decent life.

So yes, your personality is determined genetically and in your early life by your perceptions, but that doesn't mean you cannot overcome certain tendencies of your personality. Certain traits are more malleable than others. I can't stop fapping to tranny porn, but I can convince myself to study even though I'd rather play vidya.

i want everyone in this thread to research epigenetics

Learning and memory[edit]
A 2010 review discusses the role of DNA methylation in memory formation and storage, but the precise mechanisms involving neuronal function, memory, and methylation reversal remain unclear.[27]

Studies in rodents have found that the environment exerts an influence on epigenetic changes related to cognition, in terms of learning and memory;[4] environmental enrichment correlated with increased histone acetylation, and verification by administering histone deacetylase inhibitors induced sprouting of dendrites, an increased number of synapses, and reinstated learning behaviour and access to long-term memories.[1][28] Research has also linked learning and long-term memory formation to reversible epigenetic changes in the hippocampus and cortex in animals with normal-functioning, non-damaged brains.[1][29] In human studies, post-mortem brains from Alzheimer's patients show increased histone de-acetylase levels.

Psychology most certainly is.
