When someone with CPTSD grows up to have kids or a partner, they always feel extremely guilty and filled with shame.
They tend to hold this belief that people are upset with them, they’re not good enough, or they have this feeling like they’re constantly in trouble. So in their minds, everything is almost always their fault in some way.
But when asked to describe what makes them so bad or troublesome, they are unable to articulate it because it’s just a feeling they have deep in their core.
People with CPTSD also are highly sensitive to others’ emotions and have a strong startle response. As a child, they spent a lot of time daydreaming, essentially building a whole life for themselves inside their heads to escape to, and they still do that in adulthood.
They long to numb their own feelings and find it hard to tolerate other people’s strong emotions. People who express anger trigger discomfort in those with CPTSD.
Overall, individuals with CPTSD are constantly in survival mode and seek out stability and peace by isolating themselves.
