Being abused made me such a āgood kid.ā
I was
Always polite
Never acted without permission
Never spoke out of turn
Always did what I was told
And itās shitty that I was considered mature and praised for those things, and all of those characteristics have translated into me being an immature, ābad adult.ā
Now I
Have difficulty making a keeping friends
Canāt act without permission/am dependent on others for direction
Am terrible at communicating
Have no agency/personal compass
Itās a really difficult thing for people who were abused as children to grapple with. What made us good children make us bad adults.
