Why everyone hated me so much
Why were people so mean and cruel to me?
Why was everyone against me?

I unwanted and unloved by everyone
I had to hide who I was and guard it well

What is the differences between complex PTSD and PTSD?            

Complex PTSD results from chronic and repetitive stress which the victim have little or no  hope of escape. For example, a child who grows up and suffer in an abusive home may exhibits symptoms of complex PTSD. A prisoner who have been kidnapped and held for several years also may suffer from complex PTSD.

PTSD normally results from an single event, or short term exposure to extreme traumatic stressor. For instance, a child who witnessed her friend's death in an accident and a soldier who returns from an intense training(Thowfeek 2015).
