Criticism of any kind. If it is not presented to me out of love and just wanting me to improve, it send me into a downward spiral of self hate and the inner critic get a foot hold.
Those who agreed with me and were on my side in private but then when confronted throw me under the bus and clam they never felt the way I did. It makes me hate the human race and brings out the feeling of hopelessness and suicidal intentions.
Change of plans or events did not go in order the way I laid them out in my head. This mainly has to do with travel away from home. This sets off aggression stemming from fear. It triggers fear and I do not know why. So I become nasty and I lose all patience.
Seeing people I know become successful. Made it through college, or just succeed in everything they try. It reminds me of how broken I have been. How much I spent my life trying to hide from everyone as much as I can which meant doing as little as I could to get by. Reminds me how I do not respond to feelings the way the norm does. It shoves it shoves everything in my face. Just not being able to feel happy for them shows me I suck. This sets off a worthless, never will be good enough part, might as well die.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
