just because you don’t deal with it doesn’t mean it’s people’s own creations, obviously if you grow up in an abusive environment it can lead to that within your body but there are children who are too young to even understand what’s going on in their own bodies deal with mental issues that take over their lives, there are dormant mental issues that only come up if there’s a big accident but it’s definitely not peoples own creations
