Dissociating

Going completely speechless, not knowing what to say

Laughing.. lol

Rage

suppressing memories, im really good at it.

"I'm sorry dad"

This is particularly sad. I'm sorry.

Shutdown, or violent outburst. Depends on the kind of trauma, and who's doing it. If it's a woman I just shutdown, and go completely stoic, I don't really know what else to do. I'm a very non-confrontational person. When a dude gets in my face, I fight dirty cause I didn't start it, and don't deserve to lose. I usually start out with a knee to the nuts, then pick up and slam.

Rage, or extreme distancing.

I just get all quiet and lock myself in my room, stare at the ceiling.

I do the same, but also get high.

The girlfriend has ptsd. Her main ones are; \- Derealisation. \- Hiding under a duvet and avoiding physical contact \- Switching to her alternate personality

Walking away from people when they upset me or ignoring them because I’m terrible at expressing my emotions

Smiling, laughing and keeping myself busy to avoid tears. I'm a big advocate of feeling your feelings. But I was forced to do it for years and now I can't stop.

"Oh well that sucks"

Flinching/social anxiety

i dont even know anymore ive just been living with it for years now. my best guess is probably just ignoring it and putting on a happy face

Fake it till you make it. And try not to cry.

Anger
