How do Defence mechanisms develop?
Defense mechanisms are behaviors and mental habits that we develop during childhood to withstand traumatic events. Most defense mechanisms do not interfere in our daily lives. For example, most people feel uncomfortable around others who are shouting and behaving aggressively, and generally walk away from them. This is a defense against the fight. Sometimes, a defense mechanism will develop that makes it difficult to lead a normal life later. Usually, these develop from growing up in an unhealthy home, such as one with an alcoholic or drug addict in the family, or one where there is mental illness involved. Examples of unhealthy defense mechanisms include avoiding arguments to the point where you give in to everything and never have any say in anything, or provoking an argument yourself to "deal" with your own feelings of stress.
