the more distance i get from my family, the more i realize how much of my personality was just survival mode. being overly agreeable, apologizing constantly, reading everybody's mood before speaking, avoiding attention, all of it.

now i feel weird because i do not even know what parts of me are actually me. i know healing takes time but this part has been messing with me lately. how did you start figuring out who you actually were outside of the abuse?
