Reply to comment by AllanfromWales1 in Childhood traumas strongly impact both mental and physical health, new study shows. For every reported type of abuse experienced in childhood, a participant's risk for PTSD increased 47%. Each cumulative trauma also increased one's risk for making a suicide attempt by 33%. by Wagamaga

People often think ”I just had an average childhood”. How would you even know that what happened to you was out of the ordinary if no one points it out to you? And your personality developes based on your experiences and becomes normality. I didn’t know I had C-PTSD until I was in my late thirties.

You seem to be implying that personality is purely environmentally conditioned. This would imply there is no genetic element to it. I doubt that, I think both play a part.

I agree that both play a part, I’m just saying traumas can heavily skew it.
