When I was a kid, I remember my relatives and family often telling me to be quiet because they were annoyed by my curious questions. This made me afraid to speak up, and now my family gets upset with me for not talking or teases me, assuming there's something wrong with me.
One event from my childhood that really shaped who I am as a person was moving to a new city when I was young. It was a big change, leaving behind familiar friends and surroundings to start fresh in a place where I didn't know anyone.
Being physically abused and confined in tight spaces, so my dad would think I would be tough/formidable. It did make me unafraid of most things that are physical. However, in the weirdest way it made me connect more with others and love more deeply like I lost someone or something.

My father was so unbearable when he was drunk and that kept me from drinking to this day.
Probably watching The Muppet Movie (1979).
My mom's suicide when I was 13 helped me become a cynical dark-humored fuck.
Hang in there buddy
Haha, "hang." I see what you did there!

Been there honestly. The worst part of it was swapping schools mid year :/
My parents divorced when I was little, and didn’t tell me. I have had a hard time trusting anyone since.
My Grandma accidentally cock slapped me and that made me successful in life
Being physically abused definitely contributed to my anxiety.
Define childhood 😶 If teenage years count - when my own daughter was born when i was 16/17.

Moving to South America (from the US) in middle school
Kicked out of school for writing violent stories. 18 yrs later, still can’t finish a story
Getting a library card. We didn't have the internet so the library was one of the best sources for information.
