^ I kind of wondering if growing up bottling things up can contribute to PTSD...I mean like say your childhood is not traumatic per say but you are more or less taught to bottle emotions or decide to do that to avoid negative reactions you're getting...then you go on to experience something traumatic I am curious if already getting in the pattern of bottling things up contributes to developing PTSD. It would be intresting to see a study only like how many people with PTSD bottled things up regularly, and which ones haven't.

I guess I think there are probably things that make some people more prone to PTSD than others but it will probably take a long while before they figure out all the specifics on that. I know I did that a lot growing up and feel it sort of made me less able to cope with the traumatic event.
