I'm not sure if what I think of abusive or cruel behavior towards me counts as "trauma." One strong memory I have is my parents taking me on one of those cars (I forget what they're called) that are on cables that carry you across land to a mountain (kind of like ski lifts), and I was scared, and I could see it was so far down if we fell, and I screamed, "Let me out of here!" scaring the other people in the car. I don't know if that caused anything, or I already had signs of anxiety even when I was that small, but my family used to tell the story and laugh about it. It's never been funny to me.

I don't remember any actual trauma, just bad things that happened to me. I was very timid and shy as a kid.
