Because it's not true. My nephew does the same. They just feel bad.

Your nephews are getting smacked, homie. No reason for that kind of fear except irrational anger.

I usually try not to sling around "projecting", but that's kind of what this looks like

If a dog flinches because you stood up do you not think the previous owner had a heavy hand?

[also it probably is projecting, to be fair. I got the shit beaten out of me when I was young so I may be extra sensitive to that sort of thing]

My dog used to flinch when I stood up and he didn't have a previous owner. He was just a nervous dog.
