    Maybe I'm alone on this, but I don't think everything that happens to you as a kid determines your future personality so much. I mean obviously, there are some extreme cases out there were kids were driven to depression or even suicide over bullying. But I think people can get overly psychoanalytic about this stuff.

    • Everything that has ever happened to you determines your current personality..... Literally everything, especially something extremeset
    • ...something extreme and emotional like bullying. Have we ever agreed on anything ukit? :)set
    • Literally everything? I don't even remember half the stuff that happened in grade school, so why would it affect me?ukit2
    • Everything that's ever happened to us has shaped who we are today, regardless of whether you remember it or notset
    • I don't understand how anyone could disagree with that...set
    • Are you exactly the same person as you were last year? Yesterday, even? No, is the answer.set
    • I agree with set on thispinkfloyd
    • I just think people can get carried away over interpreting this stuff. It's definitely good for the psychoanalyst paycheck though :)ukit2
    • though :)ukit2
    • good point as wellpinkfloyd
    • we are products of every second we have experienced, that idea is not really getting carried away in my opinion.set
    • I agree.monospaced
    • set I guess the question would be how much every single experience affects you...my guess would be the human mind minimizes and discards stuff that is not importantukit2
    • mind minimizes and discards stuff that is not importantukit2
    • Having said that, I'm not an expert on this...but I'm guessing neither are you :)ukit2
    • I'm an expert on everything, you should know this by now.
