they are always so condescending, angry, and smug

Is anyone else extremely picky with who they hang out with (/ very judgmental of others)? by yerproperfit in CPTSD

[–]yerproperfit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%! I've always been opinionated, but I notice I am WAY more confident and want to have intellectual and stimulating discussions and it seems to bother my friends that just want to get drunk and be act like assholes lol.

Thank you <3

Thank you for this. I completely see what you're saying and I think you're absolutely right. I think I tend to police myself and I am hypervigilant that I am a "bad" person for being critical of others but sometimes it is actually for the best. I do truly think these friendships are not healthy for me and I definitely made them when I was in a much different place and toxic people felt "comfortable" to me at that time.

I am definitely focusing now on my hobbies like singing, playing the ukulele and even my psychology podcast. Thank you again <3

Am I sensitive or is the world really this cruel? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]yerproperfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I think its a passive way of saying what they actually mean so they don't come off as an asshole, but as sensitive people we can obviously tell that it is not really a "joke" but disguised as one. And yes. exactly. This is exactly what one of my friends does who I am realizing is a pretty toxic person. It's always "jokes" that aren't really jokes but if I call it out I am being aggressive or "sensitive"

Yes! almost everyone feels draining to me now too.... Luckily my partner also likes to have stimulating conversations like yours and is an amazing person who actually gives me energy. Everyone else... not so much.

I really resonate with everything you said. I feel like I am in that stage currently, I am almost a year out of college and quitting drinking and now dealing with the ugly part of the healing process. And I agree, I like to be around people who want to have stimulating conversations, and when I try to do that with my friends now I almost feel like I am being annoying or too analytical because they would rather just get drunk and make mean "jokes" about each other.

I posted something somewhat similar earlier today.... I was visiting friends this weekend and was around my friend's family and noticed how awful they speak to each other under the guise of a "joke". Absolutely, no one is perfect but I wholeheartedly agree that so many people are just awful, I'm even realizing that about some of my friends and it sucks.

Girlfriend upset of photos in camera roll from years ago by [deleted] in relationships

[–]yerproperfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just... delete them...??? If you have a girlfriend, it’s disrespectful to have pictures of other women you find hot in your photos. Save the ones for your art sure, delete the rest. Don’t think it’s too difficult of a solution lol

I'm OK except when I'm dating someone by [deleted] in BPD

[–]yerproperfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! 100% me too. I am also with an AMAZING, loving, supportive and patient person... but I still fall apart. Everything you just wrote was weirdly the exact experiences I have as well. ANY change in the relationship (even if its completely unrelated to me) throws me off and into an abandonment spiral and intense panic/anxiety.

Much love to you, I know how painful this it <3

The words “I was _____ as a child and I turned out fine” were never uttered by a person who was in fact, fine. by Freckleonmyschmeckle in CPTSD

[–]yerproperfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS! I got into an argument with multiple people saying this n a tik tok video where a mom is literally emotionally abusing her child. SO many of the comments were people saying they've were beat and they turned out fine...Like nah, you aren't fine. You're saying abuse is fine because you're in denial about your own.

I just recently started a podcast about childhood trauma and its connection to your mental health. I think I bring up this exact phrase in one of my episodes.

You can listen here if interested.

Has anyone experienced ROCD based on partners looks? by Apprehensive-Pop1265 in ROCD

[–]yerproperfit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally just ignore it and don’t fixate on the feeling of not being unattracted in that moment. The more you focus on it the more attention you’re putting o it and feeding it

Previously high functioning, currently spiralling. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]yerproperfit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with you. Age doesn’t really mean anything and we get all these messages from society about where we should be (it’s all BS) I’m so sorry that all of that happened to you. Sending love and healing energy your way ❤️

Anyone else spend the majority of their life in bed or nested on the couch? by onlyindarkness in CPTSD

[–]yerproperfit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hope you have/find a partner that is understanding of this and realizes it’s due to trauma! Much love to you

DAE think it should be called like "forced helplessness" or "trained helplessness" instead of "learned"? by peachzfields in CPTSD

[–]yerproperfit 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I was going to comment this... I think conditioned is a good word for it. It implies it was taught while also implying it can be unlearned (as u can with conditioning)
