I am aware that it is irrational, but I still feel some form of internalized shame for my flashbacks.
I still have flashbacks of certain people who bullied me, of what they said, even though those words were many years ago. It wasn't really what they said that bothered me, I am generally an assertive person (at least I've grown to be), it was that they said those things during a time in the past when I was most vulnerable and I remember the feeling, and I can't help but feel angry when I remember.
Another part of me feels kind of ashamed that I can't just ''move on'' from them as much as I'd like.
How do others cope with this?
