My earliest memory took place when I was three years old. I remember it because I was scared when this occurred. It related to inner turmoil within my family. I was hiding under the table, which was in the kitchen because I thought I would surprise someone in my family by yelling "Boo" or something or touching someone's foot or something while I was under the table. Instead, I waited there for a really long time. Then, all of a sudden I hear my mom stomp through the kitchen and start yelling at my grandparents who had just come to the United States to visit. Then I heard some really weird noises but I was too scared; so, I closed my eyes. Then my mom threatened my dad with a divorce when he came home, and then, after that all I remember is sitting under the table. I think this dream has made me more hurt by people who are upset. When people yell at me, I start freaking out and feeling bad about myself. It definitely reduces my self-esteem. Furthermore, angry people scare me and make me feel really insecure really fast. When I am around them, I feel like retreating into a tiny cave or something.
