I am kind of like that too, but instead of crying I get angry. It's because I percieve such things as a personal attack. I'm working on it though.

MODERATORS
Yeah, actually I just noticed reason why I am like this is because I always listened other people when being told what to do, for example when my hair was starting to grow mom would say to cut it and I'll do it even if that wasn't my plan to do and now I find it hard to express my feelings and whenever someone speaks with little bit harshly I kinda want to cry
It’s kind of like when you get a sunburn, and someone comes up and gives you a slap right on the sunburn. Maybe they meant to, or maybe they didn’t. Either way, it’s going to hurt like hell until your sunburn heals.
One of the many things I’ve learned in my two years of therapy is that we carry our pain and trauma around like a big old sunburn, and more often than not we get slapped by other people not realizing we’re hurting already.
I wish you the best on your journey of healing. It’s never easy, and you’ll often find yourself relapsing. But don’t give up on yourself.
Real life, face-to-face conversations or the internet? Because the tone on the internet especially in public spaces can be a bit rough... But it's also sometimes difficult to judge with all the non-verbal communication missing.
