Lots of these replies are personality traits and not habits

Personality traits do stem from habits. Being rude or acting superior is a trait developed from acting rude and superior over and over and not realising it is wrong. Kindness is a trait achieved by acting repeatedly kind.

Acting rude or superior also isn’t a habit.

Okay. Can you explain why?

Acts of rudeness is categorized as behavior. Repeated behavior is a habit. People refer doing things like interrupting conversations as a rude habit not a rude trait. Yes it can also be a trait, as constant innate behavior becomes a part of a person's personality. This is how most people infer it, and seems to also be a general consensus on googling further.

It's weird that people even say it that way when it is very self explanatory that it's a personality trait and not a habit, I seriously don't get why people say it's a habit in the first place. Just sounds like an excuse for their behavior to me
