emotional trauma

Post Reply New Topic

have you ever been through an emotional trauma? last year i went to my great-aunt's house for a visit and i ended up getting criticize for being shy, made fun of for how i talk and not having a girlfriend. it hurt me so bad that the pain lasted for weeks. slowly i felt myself regress. i couldnt remember stuff good, i couldnt sleep and i couldnt think. i was in an emotional despair. now i just dont think about stuff anymore and my sister yelled at me and said i would have a huge problem in my life doing that. i dont care because i got hurt and im not getting over it. i feel that some closure and resolution need to come and it didnt come yet. last year i was at my best and now, im at my worse.

try not to think of it soo much as a fault that you should feel bad about. everyone has their issues, those are just the ones people point out about you. it's not your fault that you are not perfect. it is human. I'm sure those people have no idea how you feel about what they said, and perhaps they do not posess those feelings at all. if they understand how you feel about it, and don't care, than those are the ones you should probably not care about, or be affected by. they are probably nice people (to someone) and just enjoy pointing out your faults. so go ahead, give them a superiority complex, and thank them for pointing that out. ask them in their devine wisdom what you should do in order to be a perfect demi god like themselves.... and try to appear interested.

Sorry about that. Some individuals can be very mean.

Life is a road and only you know if you are going forwards or backwards. You must let go of what others think or say. They do not know what it is like to be you.

Instead monitor your own progress, make small improvements and work your way down your road. There are others on the same kind of road as you (other Aspies and a few enlightened NTs) and they will understand and see your problems and progress more clearly.

Yeah. Because you're the only one with the right to criticise yourself, no one else should do that.
