Dehumanization & very sensitive to it: yes. I am tripping on that thought. I have recently come to this point. I am now very sensitive to behaviors that I see. And it is only because I stumbled onto and began to study narcissistic abuse and recovery. It is one brand of confusing torturous abuse that I endured. The other thought is regarding seeing your way out and caring about growing beyond what you have endured. Why me? Why you? Why did my siblings "put it on and wear it" but I hated it and have fought my way out? There is NOT ONE person in ALL of my relatives on all sides of the family that EVEN acknowledge any negativity at all in the toxic, abusive people in our family. In fact, they are fan club members and cheer team for those people. What is the difference between me and them? Between you and another person? Temperament? When I was inside religion I thought I had an answer.
