Dear lybrate user. Its a very nice question. Every person on this earth is different and we all fall on a range of peraonality traits say for example from extroversion to introversion. This range for a person is predecided by the genes he is having and getting expressed, while exatly where a person will fall is decided by his upbringing that is the environmental factors. So everyone is born with a rubberband personality traits which has a range to which it can be stetched but the exact stetch is decided by his upbringing for the initial 18 years. There is nothing wrong to be sensitive or anxious when there is a significant event like as you stated about your car getting struck by the truck. You rather accept it as these are normal human emotions. For further queries get in touch.
