Dear Carla:

Complacent means satisfied, without awareness of potential danger. I think this is why you have moved a lot, to avoid hidden dangers, run before you encounter the danger that is about to hit you at any one place.

Earlier you shared that your mother said that you were “always very sensitive to noises, didn’t like being touched”- these are expressions of fear. You wrote that you “had a tendency towards anger”- anger often follows fear. Clearly, there was danger in your childhood.

For a child, parental rejection is danger. Any such memory?
