I think you're arguing beside my point, I am referring to psychological concept of "learned helplessness", and how is that wrong. That concept doesn't imply that helpless people fall into a total coma, it just means that they don't attempt certain things.

Learned helplessness can by definition manifest only after you have tried something and failed. Hence you cannot have learned helplessness after being born, because you had no opportunity to try anything yet.
