    So what you’re saying is that because the world has hurt them before, they engage in behavior that, while hurtful in itself, was really only ever intended to help them protect themselves even though they might not be in the situation where the behaviors in question would benefit them anymore?

    Congratulations, you’ve defined “pathological behavior”.

      Yeah I wasn’t looking to define pathological behavior but rather provide context for a differing perspective. I can see this isn’t the right time to provide a different viewpoint.
