I personally don't think I am too alike to my parents, I share some blatant similarities but I have a lot of different morals and a lot of different beliefs than them. And I act and think differently than both of them.
But if I had to choose which parent I was more like I would choose my mom. This is because my mom, just like me, is very goofy, nice, loving, and friendly. We both are very open-minded and try to understand other people as much as possible. Unlike my dad who is very closed-minded, thinks what he wants to think, and is not very social.
My mom is a saleswoman so she is very comfortable and friendly towards other people and knows how to talk to them. And just like her, I try to understand people more and try to see their point of view and make them as comfortable as I possibly can. Just like my mom I love talking to people. I am very social and loud. But if someone is the opposite of me and is antisocial and quiet, I try my best to not be over the top to make them feel weirded out. (Because I know sometimes I can have a strong personality.)
Similar to my mom I love meeting and talking to new people, I love getting to know new people, and I love to be friendly and positive towards everyone. Just like my mom, I'm very inclusive to everyone of all backgrounds, of all body types, and of all origins. But lastly, the reason I am more alike to my mom than my dad is becuase I do not have a strong connection with my dad. My dad can be a really negative person and bring down anyone in his path.
I am different from my parents in terms of morals and beliefs. This is because me and my parents grew up in a different generation and have different views of the world. My mom and I share some similar beliefs but not me and my father. I am also different because I believe that I am more positive than both of them (I know that sounds a little rude but it's true ). I believe I see more good in people than my parents. And unlike my parents, I really like to spread positivity to other people. This is because social media is a big part of my generation and is very accessible and it's a really quick way to spread positivity. I can easily message someone or comment to help bring up their self-esteem or to help them understand that they are not alone and everything will be okay. But my parents are kind of old so they don't really understand how to use technology to their advantage in that way and I don't think they would because they're at an age where they believe everyone should be supporting themselves. And they don't truly understand the concept of support from others can sometimes influence you more than the support of yourself (it's a little sad to say but it's true, people tend to listen to others when it concerns something positive about them rather than to listen to themselves).

I can definitely relate to having different morals and views than my parents. While I find my personality to be similar to both of my parents, I do disagree with them on a lot of things. Like you, I feel that my parents, especially my dad, fail to see the good in humanity that I tend to.
