Well, this has been a thing I've been pondering about for the past few years. I can be sat down and just randomly flinch as-if something just dropped down in front of my face. Also, when I'm sat in college and someone raises a hand I flinch, it's quite embarrassing if someone notices because they all point it out and makes me feel quite small. But it can just happen randomly, for no reason. It's quite noticeable, I've seen a few people point it out before, obviously I know I'm doing it myself but I try to hide it.
When I was younger I was bullied pretty much every day of my life for about 10 years, this includes getting beat up quite a lot of the time (well, maybe 10-20 times in the 10 years), could this be why? Could it be an effect from the trauma of being bullied? That's what I've always blamed it on in the past, but I just want to know for sure.
I never saw myself posting a topic asking for help here, lol. I'm usually the one offering support.
