do you think it is possible to not show any symptoms of ptsd because your mind naturally causes you to advoid situations that would cause it. i had sa when i was a child and always remembered some details and know who the people are. but i have never had any signs of ptsd. mind you i am in my 40s and never had a boyfriend, nor did boys ever ask me out ever, never had kids, never married, not a lesbian at all, no real friends just i know through work, church, family, etc. i advoid social situations like the plague. men and people of authority scare me and i dont like it when people act like they care about me and stand real close. am i just subconciously protecting myself or do i just plain not have ptsd. maybe some people arent affected as much by what happens to them. just wondering and puzzled.
