Contains sexual abuse - Am I twisted?
I was SA. I was bullied badly during my teens and my abuser made me feel special and wanted. I don't always feel wanted and I am single. Am I wrong for missing feeling wanted?

No. I don't think you're twisted for thinking that.
I didn't understand why he did what he did when I'm not pretty. It's not exactly the same but it made me feel quite twisted too.

You have to do everything you can. You have to work your hardest. And if you do, if you stay positive, then you have a shot at a silver lining

I struggled with feeling like this too, especially as my mum was quite emotionally abusive. I eventually managed to admit how I felt to my counsellor who helped me see that it was only natural to want to feel special and loved and that missing those feelings is ok; just because I missed feeling that way didn't mean I missed the abuse itself.

Fight for another day

Your not wrong for feeling that way. It is a normal human need to want to be cared about, to feel special. I have felt this way and my therapist explained it that as a child my idea of love and affection were blurred as a result. Are you receiving any therapy? This may be something helpful to explore with your therapist.
