I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but as it was a direct result of childhood abuse...I don't see where else to out it? Apologies in advance if i give any mod the hassle of having to move it.

I grew up what i call a runaway brat....coz i was...lol. Anyways IRL none of my mates ever had to go there so...despite them being sympathetic to the probs i still have now from it...they know i sometimes feel like a freak over it. Like they know i'm not comfy with new folks who come along knowing about it until i'm ready to say for any reason. But despite how great my friends are about it all...sometimes it's lonely in that...i know they TRY to understand what it must've been like and what probs it caused but...deep down i know they don't get it coz they've thankfully never experienced it.

Anyway....stupid as it may seem to some...i'd just like to know if i'm the only one here too?
