self-loathing is born from a lack of validation and outcastish-like feelings during the mind's most important growth time. usually adolescents. I lost my childhood at a very young age. constantly moving between hotels and abuse. I never lived with my mother, I lived with people I was told I was related to but my documents said otherwise. I lost my brother at a young age. (he's not dead, he was just taken by child protective services). I never got to be the big sister to him I always wanted to be. I kept in touch at random times for a couple of years but the flame died out and he's nothing but a distant memory. I was adopted at age 11 (that's an old age to be adopted at) and I always and will always feel outcasted because of that

I could tell you everything in between and it could all be 100% true. but I will never expect you to believe me. because of how society has treated people with trauma and mental illness. I challenge you to go on tik tok right now and look up #mentalhealthawarness or #DiD or #tourettesawarness. the amount of absolute FAKERS on there is UNREAL. everyone has had trauma. some better than others. but stealing others' trauma as your own has become a social normality.

about 16% of women are victims of sexual assault but the amount of Medusa tattoos is more than 16% most of the girls at the high school in my town freely talk about their experiences as if they're normal and not traumatizing. which makes me doubt who is telling the truth. these poor men who are getting blamed. it makes me angry. but does that make everyone's experience invalid? of course not. i wouldn't want my experience invalidated because of others' actions. so that's why you get the full story and study the accused as much as the accuser.
