It's interesting to me how trauma can manifest through your dreams. I was bullied when I was younger and had really bad social anxiety in high school. I once had a dream that there was some sort of reunion with my classmates now as adults. We were all in a room and I was near the front so I couldn't get comfortable. I just felt like everyone was talking about me. Some stuff went wrong during the meeting and I overheard a classmate near the back say, "She's so weird." I got upset and tried to leave but couldn't find the exit door to which they started laughing at me for that as I ran out of the room. I woke up in a cold sweat. It's traumatizing to relive things like this but I also find it interesting how the mind works. Sometimes I'll say that I'm over certain things, but my subconscious mind always reminds me that I'm not. I still have a lot to work through, I guess as I dream about these things often. I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same.

I have similar dreams of past events I considered myself completely over. Even things I haven't thought about in a long time. The subconscious works in mysterious ways...

I've had a recurring dream since I was a kid of an abuser chasing me through the house and they always ended up catching me and engulfing me in shadow

Don't even get me started on dreams. I must have so much unprocessed trauma deep down in my subconscious if my dreams are any indication. I have crazy disturbing dreams like you described almost every single night and usually more than one.

If women are sexist for using the word man, men are also sexist for using the word woman. Right?

Or are men just more advanced and above human psychology?

Learned from experience the great healer and making yourself better is you itself. Also sharing and diving into these perspective helps to bring in different perspectives but not to dwell deeper in those emotions may lead to unwanted thoughts and feelings.

I will never understand 🤔

This needs to be studied: • "Deeply" religious guys and their obsession with OF girls. • Feminists prowling Tinder for douche bags. Both groups seem to obsess over the very people they dislike. What is this called? Is it the low-key rebellion that makes it exciting?

When someone...

When someone checks on you, check on them too. People don’t randomly ask how you’re doing. They often feel something. Maybe they’ve been through the same pain, maybe they’re going through it now but hiding it behind a smile. Those who check in are often the ones who rarely get checked on... read more
