Are or were you scared or distrustful of authority?

I have a grudge against policeman, specifically. I have had so much trouble with the law, that my brain has become programmed to automatically recognize cops, as the bad guys. They have nothing to offer me, but trouble. Yeah, I deserved most of punishments that I received but, I still can't shake the feeling that we're not on the same team. Like I have 'criminal' tattooed on my forehead, or something. Maybe it's my subconscious reminding me, that I am still, part criminal. I acknowledge that I am a fellon, but, I consider myself to be retired, permanently.

As for everyone else, I will respect anyone who shows respect towards me.

And I trust no one, completely.

I can be quite angry towards authority...
In the case of authority figures who are clearly in a position to help people, i.e. teachers, I respect them as people. I can talk to them about my problems and things and just talk to them in general as people, but as soon as I get a load of work, I become recalcitrant.

And then I kinda get hot headed about things and authority in general.

Quite why I do this I'm not 100% sure, but the past has left its marks.
