I have a proven track-record of minimization. I realize this.

However, I am struggling with why I think I need to be in therapy. Ok, maybe some of the things that happened to me were a bit worse than I realized at the time. But why does that mean I need therapy? I didn't think any of that stuff was too bad. I feel like my past was normal, especiallly when I read about some of the hard stuff you guys have gone through. Most of my childhood was ok. I am tough. It's fine.

If I have to go to therapy, why doesn't EVERYONE have to go to therapy? Hasn't everyone had bad stuff happen to them? Am I just being a baby? Shouldn't I just suck it up and handle myself better?

I am so confused. Are there really people who haven't had bad things happen?
