Were you a sensitive child growing up?

[ranierean]

I remember reading some old thing about how Chinese children don’t respond to external stimuli even as infants, so it got me thinking...
My mother said that I was always very needy and highly prone to crying. I would always reach for the teat and I was incapable of sleeping on my own even years past toddlerhood. I still cry in front of other people, it happened as recently as this summer…

I had hyper awereness. I could distinguish who was opening the door depending on the sound of they are grabbed and introduced lol.

 

[apocalypse]

Emotionally yes
Physically no

 

[Lebgfinal]

Yes i cried everytime i had negative feedback

I would cry if I watched a tv show and I heard or saw a dog die.

Fast forward to my early 20s and I saw a 19 year old dude pretty much dying in front of me and I felt nothing.

I went from a sensitive boy to a heartless monster.

A lot of people do that, but in my experience they just turn into reddit cynics who reengineer the bullying they suffered into this norwood platitude machine where you e.g. tell incels to take showers and make fun of old fat unvaccinated people dying

Well I wasn’t bullied growing up so I don’t think it applies to me. It was just depression as well as the loneliness I felt because I was hiding it and bottling up my feelings instead of sharing it with anyone. Not even anonymously. That changes you.

you’re such a good boy for mommy

 

[Clown Show]

Yes I was, one of the biggest incel traits.

I was very hyper aware as a kid in every regard, emotionally, physically, even hyper sensitive to sounds and sights, which made me really socially anxious and high inhib. I guess I had a very sensitive nervous system.

But now after so much bullying, black pills, mental health problems, evil in the world, I am slowly becoming a sociopath and I must admit that I navigate life better this way.

Yes, I was sensitive until I started boxing and got my shit together

 

[Nick.Harte]

I didn’t give a shit about anything.

 

[PMF1]

My mom told me I didn't cry a lot. Didn't react that much to much shit.

 

[Deleted member 23115]

I never cared deeply about anyone, not even my parents. I saw other kids crying over small shit and i couldnt relate. I used to just provoke ppl cause i thought they were annoying.

 

[Latinus]

Yes, both emotionally and physically.

And when I say physically, I don't mean healthy wise, nope, I've always been healthy... I mean physical strenght, for some reason when around people my age my strengh and stamina went to 0, so I looked weak and fragile.
