Trigger warning Does anyone have this same issue

Question

Can unresolved early sexual trauma of childhood makes a child hypersexual which can lead the child to have sex with different genders in young age of teens and adulthood?

I am living in constant guilt and regret I am struggling with this shit from the age of 8-10 years

It can — please understand you aren’t bad & weren’t a bad kid. 

You were simply trying to cope and self regulate. 

Those feelings of guilt surface when you’re ready to deal with them, it shows you’re a good person & feel bad about the pain you may have caused. 

 Try writing out what you would say to those kids now, and then sit with the child you were then and ask questions, write out the responses & begin a dialogue 

If you don’t know where to start, like I didn’t,  I recommend a therapist — they will walk with you on your journey and steer you in the right direction.
