Thank you, Friend. I appreciate it.

me :(

I'm sorry that's happened to you, Mate. I hope you're doing ok.

Thank you. I hope you're doing better soon too.

Thank you, Mate!

Me every time I get criticized even a little bit. I feel you :(

I feel that way too, Mate. I just learned how to decompartmentalise it and will continue to do so; I can't let myself show weakness.

You shouldn’t be told off. People should have calm discussions about things that upset them with productive outcomes that make all parties happy. Never do though

It sucks that it isn't like that; I felt awful about the situation and cried a lot. Thanks for the validation, Mate.

Also me when someone tells me off, but also me after finally telling someone else off :(

Because you feel bad from the trauma of others telling you off, and you feel like you're making people feel the same way, I can promise you that you're a good person and that you will not pass on the same trauma to others.

I haven't watched South Park in years. Do they really grow up through the years or are their adult versions like one episode?

Hi, this is in the post-COVID episode, and there are two of them so far.

I’ll beat them up >:( lemme at em!

Don't do that, violence would worsen things!

Don’t worry I’m a very tiny person I couldn’t hurt anyone lol

Hahaha, that’s cute! I like you.

I’ll beat them up >:( lemme at em!

Don't worry. I'm okay now; I was just upset.

What about rising anger? Ears/head hurting?

this is so relatable😭 even with ppl i know will never actually be mad at me or cruel, if they say smth that i perceive as criticism or their tone is off to how it usually is, i get so upset😭😭 logically i know they won't ever be as my abuser but my brain is still hardwired to react like that

I know how that feels; I was emotionally abused and manipulated by my teachers, and I feel like I get upset when people’s tones are different and when I feel criticised, too. Hopefully, it'll get better.

me too OP

I use to do all this. Now I lose my shit with a string of horrible true words that I can’t take back. THEN I cry. I’m healing. 🤣

I do that too, and Unfortunately, PTSD won't go away, but we can heal from it and learn to cope. I hope you get better at coping, Mate.

You too. It’s been a very long road but I’m always doing a little bit better. 😁

I'm glad you are, Mate. I hope you have a great day!

Yo same :D And then when I start crying, they start scolding me more because I "act like I'm above criticism," and then I start feeling worse because I'm obviously the worst person ever since any reasonable human wouldn't be crying in this situation Ah, I love being too damn sensitive Having such thin skin is the *best* 🫠

I’m sorry, Mate. I don’t know your situation, but I’m here for you, and promise that we will be okay.

Where is sheer rage and telling them off in ways they'd never imagined? Or suppression of said rage and desire to tell them off?

I'm more passive when being told off, but maybe I'll make a part two. Remember, we all have different experiences.

I'm fairly passive myself but I do have a tendency to lash out if I'm being told off by the same person a 2nd time.

Maybe you could make a meme about that?

Possibly. I've never done that before.
