These kind of beliefs are to do with defining boundaries. People do this
kind of thing to simplify their world so that it seems 'normal' to them,
and doesn't tax their abilities. I've caught myself doing this on
occasion.
Something from NLP suggests that all beliefs are held for a reason. It's
just that sometimes maybe the reasons are no longer around! It also seems
to be connected with the lowering of a personal vision.
Have fun
