I would be honored if a friend felt comfortable enough to tell me about their childhood abuse, if they trusted me to understand. I would not avoid them or stay away, whether out of concern or any other reason.
I am wary of people who wear childhood abuse like a "medal of honor" and act either like you owe them some slack for what they went through or that they're entitled liberties others aren't entitled to take simply because they had a bad childhood.
People who immediately tell everyone they meet that they had an abused childhood usually have issues.

Think you may be asking this question as it has been proven that most abused children often become abusers themselves. If it is a friend, you should empathize with them and let them know you are there for them. With an associate, you probably would not know. If it is of a sexual nature, when in doubt check it out. Abused children usually feel that it is their fault; ie, that they bad, not lovable, ect. takes awhile to get over those feelings. Love, caring and understanding, goes a long way.

I feel that if you stay away from someone because of thier past the only one you are concerned about is you. People who have suffered abuse tend to believe it's their own fault and by avoiding them you reinforce that idea.

No I don't avoid them because I was abused at 5 years of age myself. This doesn't mean we are shunned, it's a heavy deal for us to have to live with. We need the love and support of our friends to stay close. Most people are understanding enough to be caring.

No. Why should you? They are people just like you.
Unless they are bad persons and mean or annoying haha i dunno.
Being an abused child isn't a guarantee that a person is dangerous or bad when they grow up. That depends on the personality of each individual. Many people who had a normal and healthy childhood grow up to be tremendous douche bags or major Aholes.

Most of the time people who were truly abused as a child will not talk about it or let their friends know. It is hard for them to talk to professionals about it much less some guy or girl at work or even a "friend".

Sexual abuse in formative years traumatize people of their person years because of the fact the abuser tells the toddler that there will be complication in the event that they say something to everybody, because of the fact they the (sufferer) will by no ability be risk-free everywhere and the abuser additionally says, he would be gazing you anyplace you're (the sufferer) The abuser instills concern to the sufferer the (toddler) and leaves the toddler scared, afraid, and lost) The abuser turns into like an animal that preys on that toddler (sufferer). the toddler (who's the sufferer) is no longer a toddler. the toddler has been robbed of the mind's eye of appealing issues, nature of the international, the appealing resourceful colorations of our surroundings toddler fantasies of appealing toddlers memories, full of super imaginations that a toddler can survive that conjures up their interest on what a outstanding international we live in fulfilled with exciting and no concerns.

I would not avoid nor threat them differently, and probably i couldn't because people who suffered serious abuse don't usually tell this to anyone...

The only people I would stay away from are ABUSERS ....I am not going to volunteer myself to be abused in any way....the problem is if people haven't dealt with their issues they can harm those around them too...and I'm not into dealing with that either!!
A friend should not harm you , and vice versa
