As someone with parents who fought constantly and particularly an abusive mother, I can confirm this is true. I have always been introverted and averse to talking to new people. I’ve been told I’m stand offish or that people think I don’t like them all the time and really I just have a hard time reading faces and assume everyone doesn’t want to talk to me. It’s something I actively have to fight against and it’s had a negative impact on me my whole life. If you’re a parent, please please consider what you are doing to your children when you fight around them.
