i wouldnt say you are weak necessarily. you've dealt with a lot that's for sure. to be truely strong you need to get past all the things that have happened to you. i dont know what you went through, but i can tell you i went through a lot as a child. rather then dwell on it i moved on and made sure the rest of my life i and my loved ones would never be treated like that. i think it has made me a much stronger person and i think if you can learn to move beyond your past you will be really strong too.
No, it does not mean you are weak. It just means that you are not allowing yourself out of your shell and experience new things
your not weak but only u can make yourself stronger and you should so u can live the rest of your life HUGS 2u...
Hon, you are numb because of the abuse, get help from a therapist. You are still lovable, even if you cannot give love. Don't sweat the small stuff and get help.
just my opinion,but no u r not weak.just not ready to deal with it yet.perhaps as u learn to deal with adversity u wil loose your numbness.could be a protective reaction subconciously.
ur defantly not weak if u go through something like that even if u r numb just the fact that half those things happened to u makes u my new hero!!
There is absolutely nothing weak about, you have just become nonchalant, in dealing with people and their mess, unable to count on anyone but yourself, you have learned to say, "What the F**K Ever". It has gotten you this far, but you have to realize that there is so much more for you. do not be complacent with this "numbness", get your power back from the ones who wrongfully mistreated you, learn to live life to the fullest, and embrace it for whatever its worth... the good, bad, and ugly. Don't let anyone take that from you... speak up, start expressing your feelings, regardless of what anyone thinks, You've got to love and accept yourself. Maybe one day you can tell your story and it will help others.
You are not weak; you are just trying to protect yourself.
