I get uncomfortable when people are nice to me i get tense when i answer comments thinking do they genuinely care. After i got adopted it took years for my parents to be able to touch me. I'm 22 and yesterday they were having a bbq an aunt hugged me i thought i was having a seizure

Falling asleep was my worst nightmare no adults wanted a kid with that much problems so i got passed around a lot. Are you better now though?
