I think so. I'm not sure why. Maybe neglect as a child. I can't think of any time or thing where I did get mad though. I remember my brother being the opposite. He got mad at everything. He had a really bad temper. He is 4 years older than me. We never really got along. He was an jerk to me a lot. My family also showed him a lot of favoritism which made me feel worse about myself.

I wasn't abused as a child, or at least I don't remember anything happening. I do remember a little before my parents split up and I remember my dad passed out a lot on the couch. I think it was drugs, but I can't remember many details. My dad had a major drug problem for a long time. That is why my parents broke up. He got clean after the seperation. He went to some clinic for help. I remember going there with him a few times when AlI was little. I wonder if being neglected is the cause of my esteem issues. I mean I had food, clothes, and a home, but I don't remember any emotional development or praise.
