13. It's a reaction to one's childhood...

and the decisions we make about ourselves and the world in response to events. It's part genetic (personality), part events, part nurture. These people don't feel safe in some way. They don't trust others to treat them well (lots of projection). It seems to be about 23-29% of the population, any population. The bad news is that some of them will always be with us. The good news is that they don't respond to reasoned argument, so you needn't waste your time. They do sometimes learn from personal experience.
