I wonder how much rebellion is also caught up in attachment? I know that as part of my abandonment issues, I rebelled (in my way) against the morals and customs which I was taught. I spent a good long time acting out in this manner in order to reassert my independence I think, trying to basically insult my way into an 'overcoming' of sorts.
It might be an expression of youthful rebellion that carries on long into adulthood, because the circumstances that a person is rebelling against were never resolved.
