I've never known where to come down in terms of cause. In my case it may be more because my parents encouraged us to speak openly to them and to other authority figures. Maybe it was because I usually got along better with adults than with many children because I was an only child who spent my early years isolated geographically from other kids. I naturally learned to look "up" (literally) rather than to the side. But maybe there are some temperament factors in play as well.
I do know that it has always been helpful to me to be curious about my experiences of life, and open to the possibility that there are things I can do to change my experiences.
It might be helpful to me to think about new points of view that might make incremental changes toward the side of (2). :)
