I think what upset me is that the you referenced the example from my own personal life right after your bootstrap analogy. So I read it as you using a painful moment from my life to illustrate the theory of "learned helplessness."
It was the placement of the paraphrase from my post that upset me. I felt insulted to see an example from my life used as an example to support the theory of learned helplessness.
In the future, perhaps you could consider using examples from your own life.
Anyway, I am over it now, just explaining my viewpoint. I will stop now, since this is off topic and I don't have anything else to say on this.
