was severly abused ( physical and mental) as a little girl but made a good life for myself! I hardly ever think about it anymore, except!
during those years of abuse I taught myself to watch my cues with people ,so that I could sense what they where up to or what kind of mood or intensions they had ,so I wouldnt get hurt and reach safety before things would escalate ! today , unfortunately, this has not changed! and while I am very acurate on reading people I seem to go on the offensive pretty much right away , later then as I get to know that indevidual a little longer , sure enough , they are what I sensed they are! this is not such a good thing as it has gotten me in trouble quite a lot and I am labled at my job! but I cant seem to shut off this defence mechanism! what is there I can do !
