The converse doesn't follow.  Not everyone too foolish to ask the appropriate persons can claim it's because of a bad childhood.  And not everyone who was abused as a child hesitates to ask a T.A. for help with a school assignment.

Rationality is a hallmark of engineering behavior.  Sometimes the rational act is to go to a person with the answers and ask your question.  If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

If you want to succeed in life, you cannot live as a prisoner of your past.  When a syndrome, obsession, addiction or phobia interferes with your ability to function, get professional help.  The good news is that you can achieve satisfaction and happiness even with such handicaps.
