Reddit user habsforIife asked: 'What immediately tells you that a person wasn’t raised right?'

Nature vs. nurture.

There is that age-old debate about whether or not someone is who they are because of how they were raised or if it's simply part of who they are.


Needless to say, everyone is ultimately their own person, and no amount of influence their parents or guardians tried to inflict on them can change that.

However, when it comes to manners and behavior, we are all led by example, and old habits can be hard to shake.

With this in mind, certain behavioral traits are a clear sign of being raised in a questionable manner.

Redditor habsforIife was curious to hear what people thought were clear signs of an improper upbringing, leading them to ask:

"What immediately tells you that a person wasn’t raised right?"

It is true that many people turn out the way they do, for better or worse, in spite of how their parents raised them.

However, certain behaviors don't just come naturally to people but rather have to be taught.

And being led to believe the world revolves around you and you are owed anything, and everything is something far too many parents teach their children.
