Hyperfocus,
> I think that bullying, especially in highly-sensitive people (yes this actually is a personality type,) causes a psychic injury that can go very deep and undermine a person's core belief system. This can cause changes in a person's behaviour that may seem unrelated to the primary trauma. The primary tactic of all bullies is to make the victim feel worthless. The PTSD symptoms that can develop from bullying - social phobia, depression, anxiety, anhedonia, et. al, can reinforce this belief in a person. I really believe now that humans are tuned to give and recieve love and when something like social phobia impairs this ability, it is extremely traumatic to the person, more so that the person may realize.
Thank you for this. It explains a great deal of how my past affected my present. I just hope that I can resolve these issues for a better future.
