Because as a child that is all that made sense to me (I didn't get love or attention because I was wrong, so I tried to be perfect), and at 23, I'm not that far removed from the trauma of my childhood.

I have come a long way with my black/white thinking, but I don't believe there's as much gray as you claim. And knowing that the issue is complex does not undo 20 years worth of irrational thinking and programming.
