This happens when you're a kid, not just when you're an adult. And as a kid, you don't have the benefit of wisdom learned from the "school of hard knocks" so it's not clear how to defend yourself, nor why it's even necessary. You end up internalizing the social signals you receive to mean that you, as a person, are inferior and undeserving of love, not just by one person, but by *all* people.

And the violence... I won't go into details this time, but I can't count the number of times I was punched for literally minding my own business, helping someone, or conducting myself neutrally. I have a fake tooth -- for helping someone -- for example.
