Literally my entire personality is just trying not to relieve childhood trauma.

Zero judgements from me, but if nobody has ever told you, that's a PTSD symptom (ask me how I know ๐Ÿ˜ฉ). Just wanted to affirm that it's real and not a personality flaw if nobody has ever told you before. If you have access to therapy it's definitely a topic worth exploring with a good therapist that you trust.

Thanks, therapy isn't really an option for me but overall I'm pretty well adjusted because of it outside of a couple of areas so it's not TOO bad.

Understandable, it took something like 20 years for the stars to align for me to both have access to therapy and find a good therapist. Glad to hear you're otherwise doing well!
