autumn
its a fact that people are born with different temperments. some are just naturally more resilient than others. so what constitutes abuse to some may be meaningless to others but this in no way minimizes the feelings that one experiences. we are all individuals and handle our pain in different ways. unfortunately when you come to a site like this, you are dealing with a bunch of people who are experiencing mental health issues. you are going to encounter people who arent exactly sensitive to the needs of others. remember, they have their problems too and some arent necessarily the type of people you want to be getting advice from, so you have to take what they say with a grain of salt. if you truly feel like you are being judged, then you can choose to remain vauge about your abuse. talk about being abused and what this abuse has done to you but leave out the nature of the abuse. this may limit you some, but at least you will feel safe from criticism.
