*People are always ready to criticize you for your actions and reactions without caring to understand what happened in your past that made you that way…* ![](https://i.ecency.com/DQmc83CEhCSWUNa56efXWHqPFyzPkV97fGXLB5NZA8asosu/image.png) [source](https://pixabay.com/illustrations/ai-generated-man-lost-alone-nature-8793866/) *There is a celebrity in Nigeria called Burna Boy. One incident happened while he was performing on stage: a fan suddenly rushed toward him, and what he did shocked everyone… he kicked the fan*. *Many people criticized him, but according to his explanation, he was dealing with PTSD. No idea about what happened in the past that led to the trauma, but that isn’t something to joke about, because a lot of people are going through the same thing due to past trauma*… *Sometimes, the way people react is not just about the present moment, but scars from experiences nobody knows about.* *There is someone I know who is always scared of staying alone in the house. She can’t sleep alone, and anytime an unknown person knocks while she is home alone, fear immediately takes over her…* *At first, I used to think she was overreacting. I couldn’t really understand why someone would be that scared until she finally told me the story behind her PTSD.* *When she was younger, her family lived in a developing area. One day, her parents went out, and not long after, a stranger came knocking at their door. The man claimed her father sent him to bring her outside*. ![](https://i.ecency.com/DQmTFBATN83wbm9k96bBiiwPxi9y427yPb3ocjpbEnTgxNB/image.png) [source](https://pixabay.com/illustrations/woman-lost-forest-horror-afraid-7607953/) *He kept telling her to open the door, but for some reason, she refused.* *The stranger continued knocking and trying to convince her until someone from the neighborhood happened to pass by and noticed him standing there suspiciously. Immediately, the stranger saw the man, and he tried to run away, but he wasn’t fast enough. The man grabbed him and alerted other people in the community.* *That was when they discovered he was actually a kidnapper. The community didn't bother to call on the police; they put the judgment in their own hands, they prepared cement and forced him to drink it, then they let him go, knowing that he was going to die wherever he was heading.* *Imagine realizing years later that if you had opened that door that day, your life could have changed forever in a bad way… or even ended without anyone knowing what truly happened to you*. *That childhood incident became the root of her trauma.* *Now, even as an adult, whenever she is alone and hears a knock on the door, fear rushes through her before she can calm herself down*. *Sometimes people’s reactions are deeply connected to painful experiences they survived in silence. Not every fear is irrational, and not every behavior should be mocked before understanding the story behind it.*
