I'm gonna try to create a worthwhile thread every day.
Las thread: Have any of you had any experiences with trauma in your lives? I didn't really see the world as fundamentally broken until I suffered from poverty, parental neglect, and bullying. It wasn't until then, that I realized something was very wrong with the planet, and I had a fixation with fixing it.
This is what led me to do research, for example, on the root problems with the structure of the world. If all was well and dandy for me, I probably would have never realized anything needed to be fixed.
My parents never really talked to me, my peers thought I was strange. I was bullied a lot, at one point some kids from my mom's church put either dog or geese feces in my hat and made me wear it. Two kids forced me to perform oral sex on them, and other raped me anally.
My elder brother ignored me and hated playing with me. I'm not sure if this is necessarily sexual abuse....but I used to make out with my mom for hours, and she made me participate in all kinds of absurd religoous rituals.
So does anybody have any stories of their own?
