A member asked:

I'd like to know if an accidental burn as an infant caused me to become sensitive and dependent on others not only as an adult, but throughout my life

Likely yes.: A traumatic event in a person's life can cause a scar in you psychologically and emotionally. Try seeking help from above!

Hard to say.: I think the way people around you dealt with that accident is more important than the accident itself; children tend to duplicate the coping mechanisms they see in the adult members of their family.
