I was punished so severely as a child that I can no longer even know what my real thoughts are, most of the time -- knowing my real thoughts brings up the horrible fear again, and I can't take it.

I have found out too in adult life that trying to express my real thoughts is unacceptable to most people -- even mental health "professionals".
