ok, yes, putting it this way does make more sense. reality however is that at least for me, my childhood experience affects how i work. although i acknowledge that this is more about self reflection and not about actually sharing this with anyone at work. but it does deeply affect how i interact with them. for example as a team leader i can become very protective of those under me.
Completely agree, it is very important to reflect on how your experiences shaped you and become self-aware.
You may choose to share some of the deeper reasoning as to why you act one way or another, with certain people under certain circumstances. But it is a choice and not a requirement.
"I tend to be very protective of my team" should be sufficient, especially in an an interview setting
