it is indeed fucked how up how much of human growth depends on childhood experiences. its my biggest anxiety as a mom, and i hope that one day your parents (or whomever) take responsibility and are accountable for how they affect/affected you

@arlita I can only hope but I don't think my biological parents would care (since they are the root problem). maybe i am wrong, but i have a feeling they wouldn't understand the impact their carelessness has had on me and how i interact not only with the world + the people around me, but with myself as well.

I don't want to give you any cliches or platitudes, as I don't find them helpful when soeone gives them to me. Just know you're heard and I feel for you and damn everyone who treats a child in any other than than affectionately and supportively.

This entry shouldn't hit that hard, but oh hod, IT DOES!!
I think *most* people feel some level of discomfort and distrust when out in the real world, but (especially in westernized society) we are trained and groomed out of it or (at bare minimum) acknowledging it. All this to say, you're not alone in those feelings and navigating the world.
