The answer to that question will be as numerous as the number of people who answer it. The reason for this is that each person is an individual. Some people have the capacity to overcome great adversity. Others are not as strong and may succumb to the victimization of the event. It really depends up on the person, their character, their support system and the environment around them.

Yes. Here is my explanation:
I was on an airplane that alllllmost crashed during a thunderstorm, and I had my 9 year old daughter with me at the time. It was terrifying not knowing for half an hour whether we would live or die. we just held hands across the aisle (it was a small plane) and shut our eyes as the plane nosedived, shimmied all over the place, engine died and restarted, etc.
As a result I have not been able to step foot on a plane ever since, that was 20 years ago. I am now facing having to get on a plane in about 7 months, but I really truly don't know if I can do it. I really don't.
Before that incident I used to fly all over the place, been taking airplanes since I was a little girl, no problem, loved it!
So I'd say that scarred my thinking for a lifetime, or at least for the past 20 years, so far. I don't know what to do to get over that, especially with this plane ride coming up. I am pretty horrified at the thought.

Yes. I'm not sure this is the direct cause, but once as a young girl, i was locked in a hospital bathroom because I was afraid of the dark. Well...until I was eighteen, mom had to stay with me at all my hospital visits(there were quite a few). I don't trust men, but that could be due to the fact that everytime I boarded an indian bus(since I was thirteen), in India, some guy would grab me"up there". This sort of thing happened to me on a plane journey home too. Could i be scared to drive, not only because of my sight and co ordination, but also because when i was young, I saw my neighbor get run over by a school bus?
I don't know if all these incidences changed my views, or if there were more things I saw in life that confirmed my thoughts and opinions, but these were the only incidences I remember.

Absolutely, yes, and it need not be horrifying to cause a scar. One of the most negative aspects of people is their capacity and creativity for lying. Many are they among us who can convincingly and maliciously bear false witness without regard to the damage done to their victim, indeed to many in society today, lying is just a weapon in the arsenal for getting by in life. It would be folly to trust others completely, and it is wise to always be on your guard even concerning the most "innocent"-appearing around us.

Yes it most likely would and could...but the real battle would be, becoming a survivor and not living as a victim...In the end we all have free choice in life...The best part is that every day we get a chance to make a fresh start a new change... until of course the end of your days...

Yes, it can. Or, if not for a lifetime, then for a long time.
I was hurt badly by a man. I hid from relationships for years.
In February I stopped running away from men, and ran toward them. Finally found one worth keeping.

I don't know about a lifetime but it would definitely color a persons thinking. A rape could cause a woman to be fearful and not trust men. Still, with counseling a woman could recover.

Absolutely. It does depend on the person, their personality, support system made up of people who have understanding and compassion. people are messed up for quite awhile after a traumatic event.
