Do you think the way others have treated us, causes our mental health issues?


Question:
Would you feel better if someone you don't know smiled or waved hello to you on the street?

YES...

... Have you ever thought that the way you have treated others has caused their mental issues? or thought to wave and smile at everyone else?

I DO

Answers:
No, it's the way I respond to how I am treated that causes my mental health issues.
While I agree that it's nice to have someone smile and wave at you and it makes you feel better.I have a problem with the thought that the way others treat you have anything to do with your mental health. Granted...it can contribute, but to say it's the cause is a cop-out. There comes a time where you have to take control of your own life and not blame others for the way you turned out.
Well, I don't know about just day to day experiences, but research has definitely PROVED that "nuture" plays a big role in mental health, particularly in personality disorders like Borderline Personality and Naracassic Personality.

Science has shown that how a child is raised has alot to do with how their personality is formed. Negative experiences, produce problem personalities.
I do believe what people do or say may have an effect on us, but lately this new therapy line where everyone else is to blame except you is kind of in fashion, and I don't believe too much in it. Sometimes you can't change a certain situation or circumstance, for example, children living with abusive parents, but you can choose the way you react to certain things. You decide if you're gonna be a victim, or if you will not take things so personally and move on.
The way you were raised and your genetics has a lot to do with your predisposition to mental health issues. Others can cause you to feel bad or down if you are not emotionally strong. Is someone doesn't smile back at you that shouldn't affect you in the least if your are emotionally strong. To learn how to improve your emotional health click on my webpage below.
Yes I believe in what you say. If others were nicer I would be healthier. Its not all their fault but a good portion. I was ostracized as a child and now I am a shut in.
I don't think that the way one person treats you can cause any mental health issues, but I believe that over time, it helps us define who we are by the way we treat others and the way they treat us. Everything in our worlds helps define us and to build our character.
