What’s the one meaningful thing you wish more people knew about you?

I wish people would understand the reason I jump at sudden movements and flinch if someone touches me and I’m not expecting it is because of something bad that happened to me. My siblings and cousins think that I’m just always on edge for no reason and think it’s funny to reach out and grab me when I’m not expecting it or lunge at me just to see me try to scramble to get away. I’m not ready to talk about what happened with them so I guess I can’t really blame them because I hadn’t told them why I get so freaked out, but I wish they could just read in between the lines on their own and stop doing that kind of stuff because it really upsets me.
