Sociopath Community

I was talking to a therapist about this. 

Apparently it comes with being sexually abused when younger?

Are you saying people dissociate because they were sexually abused? Or that sexual abuse causes dissociation? What is the discussion here?

It can come from both nature and nurture.

Have you bothered to research into it at all on your own, or are you just throwing this topic out there for others to do it for you?

probably comes with some other things too…?

Were you sexually abused as a youngling? Open up! 

I am asking if being abused when you are a child, leads to dissociation when an adult.

No I wasn't . Although I was groped a few times as a pre-teen and teen. But those are common for a lot of females with early development. I had boobs at a young age. These were men in public.

I had a family therapist say I do it. My psychiatrist says she has never seen me do it. I was wondering if anyone does? Sorry i'll stop if boring.

Um, are we the only ones recycling aluminum?

I think to truly dissociate like not normal dissociation, you need two things. You need early and persistent abuse without anyway out. You need a reason for dissociation. But I think you also need the neurology for dissociation. Now you might say all young minds are the same but I disagree. I think you need a specific type of mind that is quite detail oriented from the start. I have absolutely no evidence of the second claim.

Nevertheless all people can agree on that all abuse victims don't become dissociative. So there is another factor, whatever it is.

So, all abuse victims don't become dissociative, but most dissociative people are abuse victims. There was a thing I read (don't know where of course) that claimed other types of trauma also can cause dissociation, like war, but it is less likely than something personal.

Also, dissociation isn't an absolute, there are severe dissociative things like DID, but also lesser dissociation is part of c-PTSD.

I had a RL friend whom I thought I knew, yet that person got into a dissociative fugue and basically disappeared. The person coming back was not the person I used to know. Pretty freaky actually.

Haha no. I was asking if you disassociate
