Like I'm not going to go into detail about what happened to me trauma wise - and I would prefer you didn't ask - but I noticed I became more neurotic and also more open to new experiences following my trauma, which is kind of contradictory come to think of it...but that's what I saw.
So how about you folks? Did your personality change following your trauma? And if it did, what personality traits appeared (or disappeared) do you think, following your trauma? Did you become more antisocial...did you become a recluse...did you acquire the traits I did...?? Do tell!

I think I was one of the Very fortunate though. I had a T who was a trauma specialist. That made a huge difference. Many people get the wrong or mis-qualified T it seems.
Sad.
