Thanks for your inquiry, Icy; BTW, welcome to AF. I would say that as a child and throughout my teenage years, I was more or less a product of the various thought processes, values, philosophies, etc., that I had obtained from others via social learning and social/cultural norms. Once I started appreciating the value of ideas, acquiring knowledge, and coming to my own conclusions about various matters (during my college years and after), I became more of an independent, free thinker and came to embrace the fact that I do not have all of the answers, nor can I make any definitive statements about reality and what it is, which IMO, encourages more intellectual exploration/curiosity than fear.
