Your idea is expressed by your use of the word 'ironically.' Actually there is nothing ironic involved here. As you are probably aware, there has been a lot of discussion about how both nature and nurture produce the personality. An individual who is sheltered (a positive word) and isolated (a possibly negative word) still has to face their nature and grow up with what ever nurturing their environment provides. The possible outcomes from this situation are exactly the same as if one grows up in a large family in a busy city. It all depends on the combination of personal characteristics combined with the upbringing provided by the caregivers such as parents and siblings.
;-D Shelter and isolation are not necessarily bad, or you would see a lot less home-schooling.

I see nothing wrong with being very compassionate, and loving. These are two very good attributes actually. Maybe in today's society, which is shameful, you may want to be watchful of not being used by other people that may take advantage of these fine qualities. Not saying this is going to happen, but just in case. Only because you don't have a lot of hands on experience with people. If more people were like you, this world would be wonderful. It's the negatives in life that are causing hurt in today's life!

I think it's individual specific then. If you were sheltered and isolated and you feel you are still truly a compassionate person and loving, than maybe it's in your genes. I have known a few people who became the opposite when in this situation. Good for you if you are feeling comfortable with yourself and your true feelings inside. I would say that if you are this way, it's just a personal preferrence. BUT make sure you dont get too comfortable in thinking you're above becomming a statistic of this behaviour caused by your environment.

All you can really is that the person was not damaged by that kind of life. You can't make any generalizations, because you don't know whether or not anyone else who had that kind of life would turn out the same way. (And maybe the person who led that kind of life would have turned out ironically compassionate and loving anyway).
