The psychological effects of experiencing rejection and neglect like negative self-perception and instability in relationships can also lead to a negative perception of the world as well. The world, its people and its events can be perceived to be unwelcoming, unfriendly, unpleasant and inherently tough- in line with the upbringing and environment of the child’s years. This can also extend to supernatural and religious beliefs. When people start to view events through the lens of  this constructed representation of the world it can also decrease their trust in relationships and people and phenomenon of the world in general. They would be more likely to interpret events, situations and people’s intentions in the least generous way (looking to detect betrayal, rejection, ill intentions).
