Has anyone successfully changed their habits?

I've not read past the first post so my apologies if I'm repeating.

Is it not a question of laziness but more a question of "how much stuff bothers you". I can't stand mess or clutter so I clean and tidy. If it didn't bother me I'd be less inclined. Is that lazy or laid back?

In all honesty, the only real force that changes a person's habits is boredom. No, not will power, not motivation - boredom. If all your life you were doing things one way, you'll eventually get bored of it and try it another way, not because there's a need for it, but just because. In your case, if you lived all your life trying to be something different from your parents, you eventually get tired and try something else... and it so happens this something else is your parent's behaviour. Sometimes people think too deeply about these things. It doesn't matter what you're turning into, as long as it feels natural. People's opinions (including yours) are subjective, so you shouldn't worry about it
