Reply to comment by anniecet in Childhood abuse may alter brain function in adults. Study found people who experienced abuse during childhood (but not adolescence) experienced altered functioning in the brain for systems associated with perceptual processing and attention. by MistWeaver80

Yep. I definitely feel strangely comfortable in insane situations. When I worked IT for a big bank in NYC they used to have me give really bad news to people (like, we lost five years of your work due to a stupid tech) because when people were super upset, I calmed down.

I’m the one called to deal with overly aggressive customers, drug use and other outrageous behavior at the shop I run. The unofficial bouncer, if you will. I’m a 5 ft 4/125 lbs “cute” pipsqueak and none of that makes me even the slightest bit nervous.
