I need some advice and I need a good one, I don't want to say that I'm a special case but based on every person I have ever met, I don't think what I'm going through is normal. I can vent about so many things but i'm probably gonna go nowhere with what I'll say.

What’s a behavior or reaction you’ve had that you later realized was actually a trauma response, even though you didn’t recognize it at the time?

Anytime I try to talk to my parents I get nervous and start crying, and then my parents just call me emotional. I also apologize excessively.
