I shared a similar childhood. This sounds like what I describe as "not connecting/liking with people." I now think it's the emotional "numbing" that is common with C-PTSD. Complex PTSD is associated with sustained or repeated childhood abuse. My understanding is that we get stuck in survival (fight or flight) mode... some senses/emotions heightened, some turned off/dulled.
Thanks for this!
