Trauma Healing
Trolls Live Under Bridges…
Not Just in FairyTale Land
And They Can Pop Up When You Least Expect Them
I was not going to write about this. I was going to dismiss the incident with logic and tell myself that I misunderstood. I was overreacting or just being paranoid. I started to tell myself all that and then…
I read two stories on Medium from two of my favorite writers and I realized once again, I needed to stop making excuses for abusive people. I needed to trust my gut reaction. Or as Julia Freeman wrote in her story: Narcissists Use Subtle Verbal Abuse to Control You…
“If someone speaks to you in a way that doesn’t feel right even though it sounds okay you should trust your instincts. “
Julia has a way with words that clearly impart the feeling she is trying to convey. If that statement did not make my alarms begin to blare with a loud ringing in my mind, a few minutes later I read another story from Lena Ann called: My Very First Troll! Does This Make Me Medium Official?
Lena actually wrote what I was thinking when it happened to me: “I am proud of myself for not getting pulled into their unhappiness.”
