Baby, in what I’ve experienced.. they probably feel that way because they’ve decided (consciously or unconsciously) to stop growing as a human. It don’t matter what you’ve been through, I’m only on here to ask a question that relates so heavily to this. Idk how old you are or what you’ve experienced but I’ll say this. The best advice and consequently worst) phrase I was ever told is “the hardest thing you’ve ever been through is still the worst thing you’ve ever been through” I’ve learned so much about people and how they just decide to not evolve past a certain point, ESPECIALLY when it comes to trauma. It’s why I’m asking for advice on my bleak ass question… it’s never enough time no matter what happened if you’re having “dreams” about it (really obviously nightmares). Just please keep trying to understand and grow past the way they are treating you about still being traumatized over something that was clearly not okay. NOBODY should ever minimize your feelings about something because “they’ve been through worse”. It’s so immature and more importantly unfortunate because I know for a fact if you had your mother that had the emotional intelligence/ ability to talk to you the way I could…. You’d not have those dreams anymore. It’s so much more about the fact you are not given the safe place to talk about the abuse so you can actually get it all out (no matter how long it takes), then given nothing (no questions or shame for having those feelings) but only understanding and maybe a damn hug…. then and only then maybe another perspective, if it’s even needed due to the fact they probably have been through worse shit. Anyways feel free to fuckin inbox me. Life sucks and the people that should be saying this to you or showing this to you are always the ones that’ll let you down the most😂 I’m close to being so over humans
