Aye, sure... I agree that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, but I am not sure it does that in a positive way.
Because we are talking about a bad experience, right? And once you go through one, if the same thing happens to you again you are wary, and rightly so. But maybe the circumstances are different, maybe the person you're dealing with is not out to trick you, maybe this time one same thing might have a totally different outcome... And you being all spooked up and wary and unwilling to trust could skew things, make them take a different path..
So, aye, it didn't kill me, far from it, it made me stronger, but it also put up walls that were not there before. They are there to protect me, right so, been burnt once and all of that, but they're also there to keep others away, and maybe that's not a very good thing.
