Am I subconsciously lashing out at innocent people since I don't like to intentionally hurt people?

You have been deeply hurt in the past and you are unconsciously protecting yourself by lashing out - so that you keep people away from you because you are scared that if they get too close you will be hurt again more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
