I am increasingly convinced that the way and the moment in which we come to the world has a decisive influence on our lives.
Some studies aimed at investigating the social behavior of very premature babies They throw amazing facts about their personality and how they relate to others.
They point out that the stress suffered in the first moments of life of a baby born before term with very low weight (less than 1,500 grams) marks certain behaviors of his temperament such as shyness, inhibition, dependence on the paternal domicile and delay in the development of the affections of couple, with which, in general, also take longer to go to live alone, to have sexual relations and to form a family.
Comparing certain social features of the very premature with those of people born at nine months of gestation, the former tend to present greater difficulties in becoming independent and interacting with others in the last phase of adolescence and in the beginning of adulthood.
It is curious how the way to be born can condition a human being. They have found that premature babies tend to be more introverted, have a harder time getting intimate with their romantic partners and have more complexes about their physical appearance.
The results of a study published in the journal Pediatrics indicate that young people born early have less willingness to take risks as well as consume less alcohol and psychotropic substances than young people born at term.
Although factors such as the environment, education, family environment and experiences shape the personality of the human being, birth is the most important event in life and as such, leaves its mark.
Finally, I want to rescue a very interesting phrase pronounced by one of the authors of a Mac Master University research: “growth is a dynamic process in which alterations in initial situations might be able to change the psychobiological trajectory of people ".
