I do the same thing. I watch every movement, hand gester, stance, eyes, mouth and right off the bad I just decide if they are good for me or bad. This is not good because people or general good and mean no harm. They have their own struggles in life they are dealing with and need just as much understanding and compassion.

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.
