Can anyone pinpoint HOW they got SP/anxiety?

My mother grew up with a mother like this, and turned out opposite, wanted to prove her wrong and be the absolute best mother and person she could be to spite her, so I suppose it depends on which way you manifest that internally.

Interesting. My mother grew up with a father like this, and she did exactly the same as him, but she has the victim attitude and she didn't want children, so I guess it makes sense that she fell on the "negative" side. I'm not sure on which side I would fall on if I had kids, but I'd rather not know 😛

Home abuse and neglect, then being too different to fit in and getting picked on a few times. My parents laid down the emotional issues and social shortcomings for me to fail with my peers and develop real reasons to be afraid in school.
