It always seems to happen once someone finds out. Maybe it's because people like to put things in categories. Maybe it's because people don't understand. Even my T used the phrase "people like you." I hate being a thing, and it, a not person, just because I have a bad past. Why can't I just be a person? As soon as someone finds out they freak. I feel like a secret leper. A monster in people clothes. Like I'm poison. Toxic for existing. Wrong for the world. Frustrated. Sad.

Quite often we share our stories with people who are not safe. You are a human being and not a thing. More people than you know have had a bad past, so try to share with people you trust.
Thanks for this!

I've heard this before. Is there some magical formula of who is ok to talk to and who is not? Why is this so?

Additionally, as I study and learn and grow I have come to understand that indeed it is true that alot of people have bad histories. Why then the fear? Why the anger? Why the ostracization?

If only "safe" people are ok, what does this "safe" mean? I would have thought a Therapist would be "safe", but the comment he made points otherwise. Yes, we have talked about it, and yes it is better between us as he understands how I feel about it. I still don't understand why being thrown in a dark corner is the only answer.

Maybe I'm just rambling and venting frustrations.

A lot of people have bad histories but relatively few are ready to acknowledge them. Thus, hearing about your bad history reminds them of things they would rather not think about.

It's hard to find people who truly have empathy, it's why forums like this are so important.

T is better. we talked about it and played board games. He's not so bad I guess.

The feeling of just being a thing or it doesn't go away. I don't belong anywhere.
