After Narcissistic Abuse, What Do Most Trauma Victims Want You to Know?
A whirlwind of hell in a nutshell.
Our reactions are based on fear, not anger, and most things we fear never happen 95% of the time. But we attract manipulative people that generate the reaction in us so we can feel the all too familiar feeling of “fear.”
Most traumatized people can be the most caring but the most taken advantage of at the same time. We will question our reality while adapting to that of a person that doesn’t have our best interest.
We will be judged as being crazy, different, or insane when in reality, we have unhealed trauma that was never addressed. We are very good at hiding our trauma by being the chameleon we learned at an early age. We didn’t like to upset people, and we thrived on making others happy. So, we adapt to each situation that isn’t in our best interest but benefits others.
We run around trying to please everyone else while forgetting our needs and wants. We will put up with the craziest of shit while family and friends can’t understand it, while we lose some and others turn against us.
Again, proving that our opinion of ourselves is correct, we aren’t good enough.
