Have people ever asked if you were abused?

It's interesting how people will quickly jump to the abuse conclusion. I have seen people do that about kids who are aggressive. I knew a boy who was aggressive and he was manipulative too and a pathological liar and he was not abused. He had ODD possibly Conduct disorder. If he didn't get his way, he got abusive to try and get it. He was a bully. I am sure some people would assume he is abused or suggest it like someone has here before or saying he wasn't manipulative. Yeah as if they knew him. It's called projection. Frankie took pride in his abuse too because he would brag about it and never felt remorse or bad about it and he had been hospitalized several times.

Happens to me all the time. But no one ever expects my dad did such injustice. Although, to an extent, he has.

Yes, but it was a former psychologist. He told me I was "sexually avoidant" and wondered if I had ever been sexually abused. I actually was, and it still bothers me to this day.
It seems weird that people are coming to a strange conclusion like that towards you. I wouldn't automatically think that someone who was awkward about touch had been sexually abused or raped.

I had an internet friend ask me if I had a traumatic childhood. I think because I brought up my diagnosis, and he himself had some experiences so he was comparing and contrasting wondering if he could be on the spectrum.

I have quite a bit of anxiety, due to my diagnosis and having GAD. One or two people asked me if I had been abused based on this. I guess I'm less trusting of people because I've had some negative experiences, with being bullied, misunderstood, having my needs drowned out. It doesn't go as extreme as abuse though.

Yes

A disproportionate number of them were professional counselors

"Abuse" is a vague and subjective word

Who in the world has not been " abused"? (According to their definition)




Lately, most precious lil "people" act like they have a moral right to be happy at all times and if they are not happy, someone must have violated their stupidass "rights"

This is a trend that, as far as I know, started back in the late 1970's or so, as (1) an overreaction to previous societal tendencies to sweep child abuse (sexual or otherwise) under the rug, and (2) an outgrowth of a 1970's-era psychotherapy fad that attributed just about every psychological problem to memories (conscious or repressed) of childhood sexual abuse.

The latter psychotherapy fad was a response to an influential book, published sometime in the mid-1970's or so, about Sigmund Freud and how a lot of his patients apparently told him about having been sexually abused as children. According to the book (I forget the exact title), Freud initially believed his patients, but then concluded that it couldn't possibly be true that so many respectable Austrian gentlemen were sexually abusing their daughters, so he then came up with his infamous theories about the "Oedipus complex" and "Electra complex" to explain the memories. The conclusion many psychotherapists drew from this book was that unreported child sexual abuse must be rampant and the cause of lots and lots of psychological problems. (EDIT: See the Wikipedia article on The Freudian Coverup.)

Concurrently, as an outgrowth of the rising feminist movement, a childhood sex abuse survivors movement emerged, calling for reports of child sex abuse to be taken more seriously.

To some extent the trend has resulted in better protection for children. But, alas, it has also resulted in a slew of false accusations of child sexual abuse, most notoriously the "Satanic ritual abuse" scare of the 1980's and early 1990's.

When I had my ASD assessment the doctor asked me if I had been abused or traumatized ever. I think he was trying to rule out BPD or PTSD. I said not in the classical sense, i was never sexually abused, but how do we classify abused or traumatized though, I was bullied, the damage is in the eye of the beholder.

"Abused"? "Traumatized"?

The intake clinician at the insurance, told me that "a trauma is something bad that happened, that still affects you"

What the flying f**k s**t?

My precious lil "parents" could correctly claim that "when my daughter got a buzz cut, it was a bad thing that happened, and it still affects me"


What is "bad" is subjective

If I get shot tomorrow, some precious lil "people" would find it good


"Still affects you"? As if nothing bad should ever affect you?





"Abuse"?


Some children and adults, are so entitled and spoiled, that they truly believe that every time they are not happy, someone must have violated their stupidass "rights"



f**k mister redelings and Rolando Morales penis and John Pearson and Amy Lee scheel b***h

I hear on tumblr SJWs will say they get abused on there when they mean "I didn't like this person's opinion they wrote to my page/post."

On Twitter, SJWs will also call it harassment if they don't like your opinion so they block you and some do block lists and share it to have others subscribe to it.

Yes, I have been asked. No, I have not been abused.

I think the avoiding hugs and eye contact thing confuses people, so they look for an explanation.

The alleged victim has a larger definition of "abuse", than the defendants

.


The insurance clinician asked if I had any trauma. Asked the definition. This clinician (different from last one), said that the trauma had to appear life threatening


"Extreme bullying"


Can't measure bullying



And I don't want to exaggerate


Feel like I have to be fair to the defendants


But they are not on trial


So whatever


Just want more counseling


Actually I don't know if I want more counseling


But I want the option


Could imagine most lil dipshits, grossly exaggerate the "abuse". That they allegedly went through


So they could justify their emotional reaction
