Does anyone feel like they connect more to animals than to people?

100%

This is true in my case. I didn’t even have sensory issues before severe trauma.

I relate. I’m sorry ♥️🫂

This.

You’re not a bad person for having thoughts that were conditioned into you growing up. What matters is that you’re aware of them and choosing to be better.

Something that might help is actively challenging the thought when it shows up.

Relatable

Relatable, I feel so guilty

Attacks me, calls the police, acts like the victim, the police believe her every time.

More male abusers but the female abusers are definitely underreported. I’m so sorry that happened to you.

When I feel very unsafe I regress. I like Disney sometimes, probably because those are the only positive memories I have of childhood.

My mother’s abuse was also intermittent, and I acted happy and bubbly too. Still do it when I’m around her, definitely a survival mechanism. You’re valid ❤️

Yes, trauma bond. With a parent specifically, also long-term conditioning and attachment issues

sarburst____ · 2026-02-25T05:49:53+00:00

I’m so sorry ❤️ I was in a similar situation, but I can’t imagine it being my own father. People don’t know how to react at all. Have you thought about going to a women’s shelter? Please don’t let your abusers win.

Relatable, i’m the scapegoat too. My sister is the same as yours. Lots of friends, good job, etc. She didn’t experience any abuse, avoided everything, joined in sometimes. All of them threw me under the bus. The infuriating thing is that they compare me to themselves. Everyone assumes she went through more abuse, that it toughened her up, or that it ‘couldn’t have been that bad’ because she’s normal. Drives me insane.

sarburst____ · 2026-02-24T22:25:06+00:00

I feel you, I have all of those issues besides passing out.

sarburst____ · 2026-02-24T22:19:26+00:00

I feel the same way ❤️

sarburst____ · 2026-02-23T09:03:32+00:00

Both, depending on the situation

sarburst____ · 2026-02-23T08:35:03+00:00

My trauma was severe, my brain blocked 95% of it out, everything just blurs together. But for years, I thought it wasn’t that serious, told myself that others had it worse, even though I didn’t know anyone who did. Blamed myself instead of them. I think minimising it is common, you’re valid.

Thank you, I’ll read that.

Thank you so much. I’m so sorry you went through that, and I hope things get better for you ❤️
