The saddest thing in the world is when someone flinches when you move fast like no I wasn’t going to hurt you friend
sad? I feel fuckin powerful
A lot of the time when people flinch at sudden (or even very much not sudden movement) it’s a sign they’ve been abused in some way or have an aversion to being touched
You shouldn’t feel powerful.
This one time a few weeks ago in French, my teacher decided it would be funny to play a little prank on me because I’m the quiet one in class. She pretended to hit me in the face with my book and I screamed “I’m sorry, please don’t hurt me” and put up my hand to stop it hitting me. Everyone in the class laughed including the teacher and she even went and told all the teachers in the staffroom about it. What she failed to realise is that I screamed and flinched because the last time someone “pretended” to hit me, they didn’t miss and I ended up in hospital. Child abuse is not some joke you share around the staffroom. Everyone told me to stop overreacting and being stupid.
it’s the same with people who accept the hitting, too. because some people who’ve been hit as a child were hit constantly hit and maybe they’re used to it, to as why they don’t flinch. they just stand there, with closed eyes and accept it.
