6 Signs You Have a Wounded Inner Child

“Wounded children become wounded adults, and wounded adults can destroy themselves and possibly others.”

"You would rather be alone, than be abandoned" my soul cried when I heard that 🥺

"Not everyone is going to mistreat you." That sounds like something a person who wants me to become vulnerable and then mistreat me would say!

Whenever I see a kid now, even a stranger, I always wish for that kid to grow up happily and be able to endure whatever he/she will be facing in the future. If only a child's innocence and happiness can remain forever.

1. 1:13 you fear abandonment 2. 1:48 you have inappropriate guilt 3. 2:20 you have trust issues 4. 2:58 you have a fear of setting boundaries 5. 3:33 you get angry easily 6. 4:07 you have trouble letting things go Edit: thank you for those likes! I never had so many!

If a parallel universe exist, I just wished that the other me is physically and mentally healthy. She doesn’t deserved to feel what I feel.

@1:15 Fear of abandonment @1:49 Inappropriate guilt @2:22 Trust issues @3:00 Fear of setting boundaries @3:34 Get angry easily @4:08 Trouble letting things go

I hope everyone knows that abandonment issues aren't always caused by people necessarily leaving. it could be caused by someone being there physically and never emotionally which left you trying harder to please them. that was me as a child. my parents were never there for me emotionally and i tried my hardest to please them thinking that they would completely cut off the little affection they showed me which affects to this day. i hope everyone becomes more educated on mental health issues and becomes happier.

I felt like crying because, even if this is only a video, I felt like someone finally understood me

The person with a plant on their head has experienced every single problem out there-

I have all of the signs, the fear of abandonment, inappropriate guilt, trust issues, fear of setting boundaries, anger issues, and refusal to let go. I already figured that I'd apply to most of these

I've got a lot of trauma from my childhood. I vowed when I became a parent, that I would not be like, or treat my children the way my parents did with me. I have 3 wonderful children who I love unconditionally. I've had therapy for trauma bonds that I had, and I'm stronger and happier because of it.

Who else is a part of the Wounded Inner Child Squad? Stay strong & positive fam!

”The truth is, not everyone is going to mistreat you” Yes that is true, but thats the thing with trust issue. You dont know who is good and who is bad.

When you know that you had a bad childhood but you can't remember it

I didn’t realise just how much of a mess I am until this past year. I retire this year and although I knew I was damaged, I didn’t realise just how much. One thing I can honestly say I am proud of is that my children have not been damaged. They tell me I was a great mum. I knew from very young that I would never hit, shout , abuse, or neglect, physically or emotionally. . My kids knew how much they were loved and still do.

Me: “ I had a good childhood so I don’t think I can relate. “ Relates to most of the signs “Wait what...?”

I m such a wounded child, that I'm afraid to have children of my own in case I mess them up.. Thank you mom and dad! 🤘

I will always carry the trauma of my childhood with me and it still upsets me whenever I think about all the mistreatment I endured.

I'm still a kid, but everyone either says I'm too mature, so I sometimes act more childish and almost basically regress and cry a lot at night when no one's watching. Then my mother says I'm too childish. When I used to sleep with my mom, when I cried, the next morning she'd berate me for it. To anyone out there experiencing similar feelings, please hold on! I hope your situation gets better soon :0)
