Personalities Based on "Friends" Parents

In class we discussed how personalities can be based on the environment in which people grow up in, currently live in, and the people they are surrounded by. I believe that some of the Friends characters have certain personality traits because of their parents. Either how their parents treated them or how they influenced them growing up or currently.

• Monica- I believe that Monica is a "neat freak" because of her mother. Monica's mom seems to not think very much of Monica and critics everything she does. That is why I believe she has a need to make sure everything is always clean and organized so it's one last thing that her mother can judge her on.
• Ross- I believe Ross has to be right about everything because growing up he was used to his parents praise. Ross was the favorite child, Monica was not, so he was used to getting his way. His parents always told him he was right and that he was the best, so he expects that from others. If they don't believe him, he gets paranoid and won't drop it until he proves he is correct.
• Rachel- I believe that rachel is needy because her parents spoiled her as a child. She comes from a wealthy family where everything was handed to her and she didn't have to work for anything. Now that she is on her own she still seems spoiled and expects to get what she wants and tries to get people to feel sorry for her if she doesn't. 
• Chandler- I believe Chandler is humorous because he is very insecure. His dad is gay and is a drag queen in Las Vegas and when Chandler was growing up his father had him give him facials and pluck his eyebrows, etc. These things make Chandler feel feminine and people always say that there is a gay-like quality about him and he uses humor to mask the lack of self-confidence. 
• Phoebe- I believe Phoebe is strange because she didn't have parent figures growing up. Phoebe lived on the streets through her teen years, which makes her aggressive at times. Also, she believes in weird things because she picked up those ideas of the streets. The lack of parents also gives Phoebe a freeness because she was on your own and didn't have to live by other's rules.
• Joey- I believe Joey is caring and kind because he grew up in a large family. Joey is the only son of this parents and has several sisters, this makes him non-agressive and kind because he didn't have a brother to fight with and has sisters that he knows are moody and knows how to be kind to women.
