Hell, is it my fault he can't sell his system?

Hahahahahahahaha!
I don't take things like that seriously either, it just amuses me.
What's really fun is when therapists ask me about my trauma history, and I rattle off the details without batting an eye... and then they just stare at me in shock and try to pity me and tell me that surely I have emotions deep down but they are repressed by trauma.
Try again.
I haven't ever had the emotional range of a "normal" person. Therapists always assume I have PTSD, when I do not. I don't fit any of the criteria. Do I remember what happened? Yes. Do I hate what happened? Of course. But the nightmares, anxiety, hyper vigilance, and flashbacks? Nope. That doesn't happen to me.
Also, I am unable to experience emotions like grief, loss, and sorrow. This perplexes therapists because surely with my childhood, I would be crushed by grief... and I would have been, had I been born with the emotional range of a normal person. But I wasn't. Therapists never want to deal with that, so I played games with them. What fun!
