    Default Instincts: inborn, a compensation for what's lacking, or a combination of both?

    Does anyone else suspect instincts are developed due to environment rather than inborn? I've noticed--and not just in my own life--that people tend to develop a dominant instinct that was lacking in their families, i.e. a household very low or ignoring of Sx would produce Sx-dom children.

    I do think we're born with some inherent qualities (nature) that bend us one way or another, but it seems like nurture plays a larger role.


    What do you think, and/or what were your experiences with your family of origin in regards to your dominant instinct? I'm really just curious to hear your experiences if you want to share.
