Be You. Love You. Enjoy Life.

I often burst into tears at the first hint of someone raising their voice at me.

It’s like my mind just shatters in that moment, and the only thing that I can remember how to do is cry.

I know that I’m not afraid of the person who raised their voice, and I know that I’m usually not in danger.

But in that instant when someone yells, my mind gets transported back to a time when raised voices meant pain and fear and crying. Since pain and fear were absent, my trauma-riddled brain knew that crying was the only other option.

So, yes; if someone yells at me, I’ll almost certainly burst into tears.

Perhaps my body is trying to make up for all the times I avoided crying, or all the times I was screamed at to stop crying.

1. Say sorry alot 2. Have a lowered selfesteem 3. Hide there feelings in fear they might upset you 4. Need a lot of reassurance 5. Have break downs during tiny disagreements thinking it will get a lot worse.
