    You permanently become more neurotic if you get traumatized early in childhood, it may damage your memory and emotional control too.

    Of course, you can still become a fairly functional human being even then, and the brain is fairly plastic (permanent is relative).

      Oh noes…

      searches Wikipedia

      Highly neurotic people have more trouble coping with stressful events, are more likely to insult or lash out at others, and are more likely to interpret ordinary situations (like minor frustrations) as hopelessly difficult.

      Oh that’s me

      I had a traumatic incident at 6 years old… 🙃
