I had some theories but, based on new info I must reassess! Thanks for reminding me! AHHHHHHHH.......NOPE! Theory of encouragement, environment, decision determined IMPOSSIBLE! It would have to have happened when I was 14 or YOUNGER! Oh yeah, I forgot! I mean 14 MONTHS of age!! !! ALSO, my father slept a LOT, and my mother was merely a bookkeeper and probably often absent. GRANTED, she was an english teacher, etc... But I asked her, in retrospect, remarkably few questions. I went to a nursery school, and kindergarten in the SAME school I went to 1st and 2nd grade in. I STILL remember being BORED in 1st grade! 2nd and 4th were the same.(I was in 3rd in another school, and was bored there also.). ALSO, did I mention I remember all of this?
SO, you are looking for a cause and effect! The isolation is the EFFECT, not the cause.
