Have you been so trumatized that you snapped at your friends or family?

I was raped when I was 13 years old by a 17 year old stranger. It was after we did our play. I was so trumatized and too scared to trust guys (accept for my close friends). I warned my friends that I might snap at them because of the terrifying night and if I do don't be surprised becaise I'm still trumatized by it and don't think I'm being mean and it's because of that. I still get that. I snapped at my best friend to don't touch me when she hugged me. She looked hurt. I said, "I warned you. I'm not being mean. I'm still shocked about what happened. I told you."
Has this happened to you?
I don't like being touched. I don't wanna bother with people sometimes. I may be a sweet girl but once you hurt me, I'm DONE.

I think you are ending the good things in life because of being hurt. You now associate a hug from a friend which is good touch as bad touch! Please reassess the difference between good touch and bad touch and don’t close yourself off from life’s blessings because of one bad experience. Take care of yourself and your appearance and relearn good touch from bad touch. Don’t tell yourself that it’s okay to snap on loved ones unless you want to hurt them and become alienated from them. It’s not okay to snap on them just because you are still hurting. Reach out to them tell them you are hurting but don’t sin against them. You really need to work on yourself and let go of the pain by laying it down at the foot of the cross daily make that choice to heal and you will.

I don't know if you believe in God but if you do I hope he gives you guidance. If not I hope you can heal given time. @MotherlessDaughter01
