i am categorized, yet again

i was reading in my psychology book about individuals who suffer from the effects of early psychological deprivation.

"they are unable to trust that another can or will love them, they fear being rejected, and they fear even more the possibility of closeness and being accepted and loved. many of these people do not trust themselves or others sufficiently to make themselves vulnerbale enough to experience love."

my eyes widened when i read that. i felt like the book was pointing me out or something.

it also went on to say that one of the results of individuals denying anger is that they begin to numb all of their feelings, including joy.

what a coincidence.
