mh ish, abuse mention 

I was thinking that part of why I tend to think things are worse than they are, comes from stuff being dismissed as a kid as well as being surrounded by catastrophizing adults.

Like... if something was upsetting, I obviously wasn't supposed to get upset over that and thus be inconvenient to adults and peers. But suppose what I was upset about was some big huge enduring thing? Then I'd be justified in feeling bad. That sort of fucky subconscious thing if that makes sense.
