You've been conditioned. I have a friend whose foster parent put bells on her shoes so that she'd know where she was...years of crap like that is very harmful. People are treated as if they're dogs to be trained sometimes.

We pick up our habits from the people who has raised us. We mimic them, because when you're in that stage of development, you don't know how to act or do. You don't know the correct words, you don't know the correct actions. And if people fuck that up, you'll likely be a bit fucked up yourself. It's part of being human, and it's where a lot of our struggles have come from.
