You might want to read this article about parentification and the Siege Response form of coping, which sounds somewhat like what you're doing, though the article is specific to Adult Children of Narcissists so probably has nothing the hell to do with the causes of your response.

For me it's entirely about trust and confidence - I have to trust that I'm in a safe place, that I'm in control of my life and the decision to enter a new situation was a positive one and I'm going to enjoy the new situation. Obviously this works better with some new situations than with others. Imo surrounding yourself with good people helps a lot. So does knowing that it's at least 95% likely that the worst things that will ever happen to me already have, I'm still here, and however it goes the new situation is not able to do shit to me. Etc etc.
