What causes people to become whipped dogs
Have you ever met a total push over or whipped dog type person who whenever they are pressured crumbles and becomes compliant. When I was younger I studied forms of abuse like sexual and physical stemming from childhood and the common trait I noticed among these people is majority turned out to be whipped dogs. If you put pressure on them they would collapse and become as compliant and fearful as a "whipped dog".
A lot of people end up with these characteristics due to childhood. When a person is faced with conflict there is only 2 physical actions a person can take they can run away or fight. A child in an abusive school or with abusive families can neither run away or fight. So they develop a 3rd coping mechanism freezing up. Despite the detriment this may cause them they could be about to be raped or maybe they are failing a class but instead of taking an action their brains only recourse to this stress is to literally shut down and install a compliant personality or just disconnect from reality entirely. I learned about this mainly from reading childhood SA survivors testimonies most of these people would get abused later in life because whenever they were reminded of stressors they shut down or became compliant.
Why I made this post... And how to help with bad programming
I made this because so many people are high inihibcels for this reason. Its not natural to be this way people who always avoid conflict or freeze up and hide inward are the products of inescapable trauma. They know nothing else but shutting down since they could not run away to avoid this or fight back. This is why you need to rewire your brains thought process towards conflict. Doing something competitive especially physically competitive like boxing unironically will help with being high inhib. Most people who are whipped dogs are programmed to only whimper or cower at conflict. If you are forced to not only face conflict but fight you stop hiding or shutting down. I used to almost shut down when I was stressed it was so bad I could black out if someone hit me in the past I used to just dissociate from reality. I never could run away or fight so my only option was to mentally check out this prevents you from going insane in the short term but in adulthood it will make you a punching bag who never gets what they want. So take up a situation that forces you to engage in stressful situations and don't hide.
