I joined abusesurvivor a week or two ago, I was very nervous about posting since I am a very shy and often afraid to speak up to subjects like abuse. But after reading through many of these entries, I've seen that many of you are open-minded individuals and that makes my fear less and less.
My name is Mishi I am 19 years old, and I'm pleased to meet everyone on this community.
It saddens me, to see how fragile we all seem after expierencing these acts of physical and emotional abuse and yet we all seem drawn together in mass support to help eachother cope with it. That is the only aspect I can say that I love about human nature, is the ability to be kind to one another, even if they can or cannot relate the trauma the other person has expeirenced in their lifetime.
Which brings me to why the subject of "people" plays an active role in my life. Because I was physically and emotionaly abused as a child, I had (and still have) a strong hatred for certain people. It only took me 10 years to overcome the worst of those feelings and I fear it will take much longer for me to overcome my fear of relationships.
I hope you all will accept me here, and even though I do not know most of you, I will be supportive and helpful to you as much as I can.
Take care,
~Mishi
