Oof. Trauma.
I thought I was a really "bad-tempered" child, because good children are cheerful & don't make what they are feeling anyone else's problem.
I'm sure that's fine. Nothing to unpack there...
It's completely reasonable to teach a child to feel terrible about expressions of discomfort & unhappiness. Right?
I'm sure that wouldn't be especially traumatic to a highly sensitive child who experienced pretty much everything (both sensory & emotional) in a very heightened manner.
That wouldn't teach her to hate herself for who she is.
Noooo.
It's fine.
(Reader, it was not fine)
