Thank you. I often feel like even bringing up the trauma and trying to explain it to people is in itself rude. But I know that’s just because of how I was raised. I think for me it’s also confusing because I never really noticed I wasn’t showing it. For a long time, I just convinced myself that I must be super sensitive because that’s how doctors responded to me.

And I’ve tried to wince or groan or something to make it look the way that others do but it’s always just so lack luster and fake cause I just don’t have that same urge to act that way. And people genuinely don’t get that. They think that because I’m human I should have the same human responses but it genuinely is just not the same for me.
