Most of us joke about the different sides of our families. This one gave us our eyes, that one gave us our smile, and that one gave us our height. If we are honest, we also joke about attitudes and shortcomings that were "passed on". Niece Josie has her grandmother's sarcasm, etc...
Think on this. When you were adopted into the Body of Christ, you gained a whole new side of the family. Do others see HIM in you? Are you showing the characteristics of your Father in Heaven? The love of Jesus, is it in your eyes, hands and feet?
Part of your walk with Christ is developing fruits of the Spirit. These come by walking in relationship with Jesus and following HIS lead. They grow over time through faith and obedience. They become visible in how you interact with GOD and with those HE loves.
If others do not see the family resemblance in you, perhaps it is time for a heart check and a long talk with Jesus.
