Hi leefy

I had that problem of thinking people could read my mind but probably happened more in my youth when I felt vulnerable. In regards to suppressing sexual thought I had this problem too. You said you shut down? I truly believe that things that went wrong in childhood will sabotage us today as adults. We may shut down, get severe anxiety, major depression or have panic attacks for example. I believe in 80% of people that experience mental illness today is a result of the devastating consequences of childhood abuse.


For me personally I have had sexual malfunction and suppressed sexual thoughts and pleasure in adulthood. But as I work through my childhood sexual abuse I am healing. I also notice there is a correlation between working through the childhood sexual abuse and my sexual health improving as an adult. I’m more open-minded now about sex, I’m less inhibited about the thoughts I have and I’m enjoying sex a lot more! Food for thought.
