What are some habits you picked up because of trauma/a bad childhood?

Discussion

Curious to hear from others, what habits or traits do you feel came from your childhood?

For example, I grew up as an only child with both parents working, so I spent a lot of time alone and was generally a quiet kid.and just sent me for tutions after tutions, Looking back, I feel like it may have shaped some things like overthinking, people-pleasing and avoid conflict, have difficulty , when many people are there around me, difficulty speaking up when I’m uncomfortable, and feeling tense in certain situations (even small things like a doorbell or email sometimes).

Not sure how much of it is upbringing vs personality, so I’m interested in hearing other people’s experiences.

also any one facing issues like me and overcame and recovered from it , Share your exp!
