A mannerism is a characteristic and often unconscious mode or peculiarity of action. You possess all the classical mannerisms of a person who believes they are a self crafted person who stands at the height of the world, but in actual fact has been crafted by someone else.

I would hazard a guess that at least one of your parents is deeply involved in your daily life.
