I don’t’ think WordPress is doing suggested questions for weekends so I made up one of my own, or rather my spouse did. “what most influenced your adult personality?”
For me, it was having someone support me, aka my spouse, and role-playing games. I could try out being brave, having an opinion, being a leader, etc all in a safe space where things weren’t “real”. It made a HUGE difference for me and I am so glad. I owe a lot to Dungeons & Dragons and my gamemaster husband.
What the Boss likes – Bloganuary – one of my own questions “What most influenced your adult personality?”

Love the question BTW!
I dare say my answer would along similar lines to yours – I owe a lot of who I am today to my wife, and also to the ideals and ideas of some of my colleagues and friends, and most definitely to sci-fi.

I think I learned to not be impressed by religion and gods thanks to James T. Kirk.
