@thepottymouthguru: One of the challenges Lost Children face as adults is that they often become incredibly good at not needing much. Not asking. Not reaching out. Not taking up space. Not making things about them. From the outside, it can look like independence. From the inside, it can feel like loneliness. Because if you've spent years learning to handle everything yourself, eventually it becomes difficult to know when you actually need support. A lot of Lost Children don't struggle because they're incapable of connection. They struggle because they became so accustomed to going without it. Healing isn't learning how to be less independent. It's learning that needing connection doesn't make you needy. It makes you human. ❤️🤟🏻🌿 #UNFUCKYOURSELF #THEPOTTYMOUTHGURU #RelationalTrauma #AttachmentHealing #SelfAwarenes
The Lost Child often grows into the adult who says, “I’m fine, I’ve got it,” while carrying far more than anyone realizes. ❤️🤟🏻🌿

Which child is it that spends weeks in his/her room for being grounded? And no one comes to check on them. They only get to go out for scouts, school and to eat and bathroom. Rest of the time is spent in their room. Thanks.

I learn so much about myself everyday. I do prefer to be alone but I also seek the companionship of only my most beloved people. I don’t really care to make new friends at this point.

Funny, I got lost so many times! I had to always find my way home cus nobody was looking for me. I was always worried about being in trouble for being lost for too long, but when I went back, no body knew that I was gone.

I grew up the lost child and got moved to the scapegoat in my mid to late teens, it was a weird experience that’s for sure. Bc I didn’t get any attention, the second an issue arose it could be put on me to also be lost
