The perpetual abuse system of getting hit for crying is a very effective way to teach kids how to dissociate. I can even sit through a Katy Perry concert now.
Neither can I but that's because the entire time I'd be trying to devise a way to send the bitch back into space
Edit: Derp. I thought you said you can't. I need sleep.
I just call my dissociation meditation (I wasn't abused, I'm just mentally ill).
I sometimes wonder if my preference for stoicism and grey rocking is because of that. God forbid any emotions at the dinner table.
I dissociated so hard my depression went into "full remission". then I told my mom I am trans and she didn't accept me. I scraped by with verbal abuse for 5 months then cracked and nearly killed myself.
8 days at a psych ward, 3 different antidepressants and a month later I don't even know if I'm doing better lol
