1. You will probably have an extremely tough exterior that others find difficult to break through.
I think I look pretty tough on the outside, am I not?
2. But your interior is very soft and it’s actually the easiest thing in the world to makeyou emotional. You’re just careful with who you reveal those emotions to.
You don't really see me shed tears because I don't like to be seen crying but I really cry like a baby while watching dramas or movies. Sometimes I wonder if anyone else cried as much as I did while watching it. Haha.
3. Beingvulnerable with people will always be a slightly terrifying experience for you.Probably because you realized early on just how awful people can be.
The same with point 1, I don't like appearing vulnerable or being vulnerable. I don't share my thoughts with my friends, unless I feel deeply connected to the person (e.g. when I meet another person who's just like me in his/her thinking). When I don't see that you'll really understand me and when I feel that I can't trust you, I usually don't share.
4. You’ll always be slightly guarded about revealing things in your childhood to people because you don’t want to be looked at differently.
Well, I don't think people have asked me about my childhood before. But no doubt, I felt bullied and/or rejected at times in school.
5. You cannot stand to watch especially children being made fun of, in any shape or form.
I don't really know about this, but I think the closest to standing up for a child was when I was still serving in children's church and I got into an argument with J's mom because she said nasty things about Y's mom, infront of both J and Y. I couldn't bear watching Y listen to those words (and of course, with J watching his own mom) so I told Y to move over to sit with me. I kept my cool with the parent at first, but things got pretty bad in a short while. I'm glad though, that J's mom and I are back on talking terms some time after the incident though.
6. You believe that being bullied made you stronger but you know it also made you very weary and cautious of people as a primary instinct.
Yes, definitely.
7. You just can’t help but get involved when you see someone taking advantage of someone weaker than them in any kind of situation.
Hmmm, I don't think I have guts to step in for things like a fight, but in situations where I'm comfortable to help, I think I'd do so.
8. It’s actually really easy for you to feel like crying even if you seldom ever do it, and especially not in front of people.
9. You’re sensitive to the emotions of other people. And the idea of intentionally hurting people’s feelings is something you take seriously.
Even if I hate someone to the core, I don't think I'm able to bring myself to intentionally hurt him/her. Because I know how terrible it's going to feel. Well, at least I don't think I've ever intentionally hurt someone before?
10. It’s easy for you to get very defensive about personal issues that you struggle with.
Quite true I guess?
11. Humor is almost always your defense mechanism to deal with the issues that have the potential to personally hurt you.
Yeah, the immediate thing I'd do when dealing with criticism is to laugh it off, even when it cuts you so badly when you first heard it.
12. You probably have an above average emotional IQ because you’ve become really good at reading people and their intentions.
13. You can spot adult bullies from a mile away and you either avoid them like the plague or are not afraid to confront them at every turn.
14. You’ve learned that forgetting certain people and things is the only way you’ll ever truly be able to forgive.
Yup.
15. Having to “take crap” from anyone or anything is like re-living bad memories from your childhood. And you will almost always refuse to do it, no matter the consequences.
16. You find it difficult to admit to anyone including yourself, that there are certain words or actions that will always remind you of the scars you obtained from childhood.
17. Some days you feel like the little child who can still get hurt easily when you remember the past; other days because of that past, you feel like there’s not a single thing in the world that can ever really hurt you again.
That second part of the sentence is sooo true.
