This has happened to me a lot. I will tell someone something about my childhood and their reaction seems overboard. Then, I realize that I have desynsitized myself or distanced myself from the emotions. Or, I'm just "used to it" which then makes me sad.

It actually happened last night as I was talking to a friend about something. Sometimes I'll think why should I go to therapy when I can function fine. But, I'll have one of these moments and think I guess I need to talk about some of this crazy stuff.
