    Childhood childhood sexual abuse, narcissistic abusive mother

    ahh, I'm so sorry. I got sad for you reading this. You definitely were not old enough, you were a victim. I had a similar situation but way younger, I was 5 and the boy was 9.

    Terrified of people thinking I am a bad or mean person

    Yeah, I also overly interpret people’s facial expressions and movements/what they say because of this. I might sometimes tell my friends I felt like someone didn’t like me , and often they will not even know what the heck I am talking about, they hadn’t noticed anything like that. I think for me...

    Childhood Finding out I was sexually humiliated as a child by older kids

    Ohh, that is really similar to my story too then. What age were you when you found out if I may ask? And did you go specifically for this reason? If you don’t want to disclose that is totally fine. Thanks for replying?

    Terrified of people thinking I am a bad or mean person

    Yeah, I guess it is about becoming to terms with the fact that not everybody can like everybody. Just like I don’t like some people, I shouldn’t expect everyone to like me either. Working on it?

    Terrified of people thinking I am a bad or mean person

    Hi! Thank you for your reply. I can definitely relate, also with the childhood aspect. I did have an emotionally abusive household especially in my teenage years, which most likely contributed to my current situation. I have moments of confidence, where opinions of others don’t phase me much...

    I am a little bit unstable, currently being diagnosed for borderline personality disorder.

    I only remember nightmares

    Yeah it does make a lot if sense that we confition ourselves. I have a habit of thinking about all the things that bother me before I sleep, and this probably contributes.

    I only remember nightmares

    Hey, thanks for the reply. Well, I agree that I must have nice dreams too, they just don’t stick to my mind like the bad ones do. And I do have very nonsensical dreams in which things happen that I would never expect to happen, but after those dreams I have the feeling in my head forever...
