I don't want to be known as a survior either. It sounds too much like being damaged goods. Plus people treat you differently if they know you have a crazy past. (even if it isn't your fault)
But is is also hard to hear I am a survior because that would mean that you would have to "own" it and accept that it really did happen. It is easier to live in denial. But I can't anymore.
