I think that everyone has had experiences from their childhood that affects them in adulthood wether they be negative or not. I can remember the incident that specifically caused me to be claustrophobic, the same with my fear of heights. I know why I find facial hair on a man so icky and even certain types of hands on a man. All of which are issues from childhood. Early adulthood created an issue with beer and cigarette breath. Hell, I even know why I am specifically attracted to a certain type of woman. The list goes on and on. I think that we handle those things that push our personal buttons differently based upon the current situation and how we feel about our reactions. Most of my own personal issues don't cause me any problems so I don't need to deal with or try to overcome them. I do have a few that have caused me ALOT of problems that I continue to work on. I think life is just a constant work in progress. While we work and get rid of baggage we also may be gaining new stuff. I saw several people write of knives. That is an object I don't really have any feelings about one way or another. However, if I were violently attacked and a knife was involved I imagine that would be a new issue. I have huge respect for anyone that has had horrid things from childhood that they have fought to overcome. Some of the stories makes the mushy icky mom side of me just want to hug people.....pathetic huh.
