I feel ashamed showing side effects of my trauma. I was raised is a house that believed that our hardships make us better people. But I feel like my struggles have only been detrimental to my development as a person. I feel ashamed that I cry more easy, or that I feel like running if somebody is a little too loud, or that I feel like fainting if somebody touches me in anyway. In some ways I am stronger due to my upbringing, but I feel so ashamed that I’m still sensitive about certain things.
