I did this as a child. I would completely just “space out” and say “okay” even though I was crying inside reminding myself that “this won’t matter when I’m grown up”

I think I spent most of childhood in this state. I was so obedient but inwardly all I felt was rage

I remember as a kid when I’d get cornered and screamed at. All I remember is disassociating and maladaptive daydreaming after because I was so ashamed. Don’t even remember why I was in trouble… ever

My mom would always complain about me just saying “okay” when her and my dad were scolding me and I’d always think what does she want me to do instead, argue?

Same with “sleep training”. They aren’t “trained” to “self-soothe” they just stop crying because you won’t come help them, they’re still upset and stressed.

And then we grow up to be pleasers and feel our throat almost swell up because you want to stick up for yourself because you’re an adult, but can’t.
