Throughout my childhood, especially at school, I experienced both physical and psychological aggression, and this has stayed with me even now at 23 years old. It affects me to such an extent that I can’t trust people or interact with others. Whenever I interact with someone, I constantly think, “What does this person intend to do to me?” or “If this person attacks me, what can I do to defend myself?” Whenever I see a group of people laughing in the street, I immediately imagine they’re laughing at me, and this is driving me crazy every day. I started weight training and Muay Thai to see if it improves my confidence. I’ve also been in therapy for a month, but I don’t feel it’s helping much. submitted by /u/Acceptable_Worth8817
