That's one bonus of being reasonably self-aware and have a decent idea of where my problems stem from.

Yes. The teasing I endured in my childhood happened 1) in the formative years when I was learning right from wrong behavior and that I really didn't enjoy being teased or embarrassed, and 2) lasted long into my teens making for damn sure I knew the potential consequences if I ever had a boyfriend. As a result, I either never said yes when I was asked out, or kept my activities secret for fear of what would come of it if anyone in my family found out.
Like I said, it's not something I should worry about anymore, but I do. Kind of like people who have given up religion but still have that nagging anxiety about hell. It's not rational but it's still there.
