Social Question
Do people often create the thing they fear the most?
I guess like a self fulfilling prophecy.
Examples I’m thinking of:
A spouse afraid their spouse will leave or cheat so they become so possessive and controlling it pushes the spouse away.
Voting in a politician that talks about protecting your rights as part of the majority, and the next election in reaction to how extreme he is, getting lots of women, and minorities from many different religions and race.
Being a racist against a group and bringing them as slaves into the country or your community, and then later in history when they are freed having them living where you live as equals than cities that never abused and enslaved them that way, and so then because you were a hater you live now where there is a plethora of the people you hate, and they may have a lot of influence in your community.
Swearing you would never wind up like one of your parents, and finding yourself in the same position.
I’m looking for stories of this very sort of thing happening to you or simply a situation you have witnessed that fits this scenario.
