Hi everyone! I just wanted to discuss something because I don't know if I'm the only one that does this.
When I was a kid, and my dad would get angry, he would get super mad at my siblings and I whenever we would cry or make a sound. We had to be perfectly silent. We had to tiptoe around, make minimal movements, and make our existence hardly known. This followed me growing up, now that I'm 18, I still get scared when my dad gets angry, or, when any adult older than me gets angry, even if it isn't at me. I'll set things down so carefully and use my pinky as a cushion, I won't talk, I'll barely move, and I won't look anyone in the eye. I feel like I revert back to my child self whenever this happens, like I haven't grown one bit. It makes me feel like I'm incapable of facing my fears and challenges, does anyone else get this?

I'm usually hesitant to get into my past online, but I experience this often. Childhood trauma, especially from parents, is hard to recover from, if not impossible. It makes even the simplest tasks in a day seem like monstrous feats. The best we can do is stick with each other and be empathetic. You got this!
You're right! I really needed to hear that, thank you for you reassuring words :3
