I have experienced trauma my entire life. I just got out of a very emotionally abusive relationship. I developed severe PTSD symptoms in the last few years.
I've always felt that maybe I don't think like most other people I encounter. I've always had a hard time connecting to people and seemed to attract some really bad people into my life.
I am very self aware, probably too much so. I am usually well liked and have never really had issues with social norms or anything. I do have some other habits that make me wonder. I've wondered if I'm schizophrenic before but I only meet a few of the criteria. My abusive ex tried to convince me I had borderline personality disorder, which I do have some symptoms of. However, these symptoms have lessoned since I left the relationship.
I think I might have high functioning autism, but I have never been evaluated. I am fairly intelligent and self aware so I know to hide a lot of my symptoms.
Anyways, I'm just wondering what are some traits you have?
Yeah, I wanted to get active in my local "queer" stuff and it's too much infighting and the well-off people dominate and make it into like protest pyramid schemes and municipality funded cop hugging parades... I am also autistic, but besides professional ngo career people there is no one speaking in our name in my place and the ngo people are doing a godawful job obviously. My idealist impulses said that solidarity needs to like make a comeback (if it ever was there)but obv it's not that easy
