Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

The perpetual abuse system of getting hit for crying is a very effective way to teach kids how to dissociate. I can even sit through a Katy Perry concert now.

Neither can I but that's because the entire time I'd be trying to devise a way to send the bitch back into space

Edit: Derp. I thought you said you can't. I need sleep.

I just call my dissociation meditation (I wasn't abused, I'm just mentally ill).

I dissociated so hard my depression went into "full remission". then I told my mom I am trans and she didn't accept me. I scraped by with verbal abuse for 5 months then cracked and nearly killed myself.

8 days at a psych ward, 3 different antidepressants and a month later I don't even know if I'm doing better lol

I sometimes wonder if my preference for stoicism and grey rocking is because of that. God forbid any emotions at the dinner table.
