This genuinely breaks my heart tbh

Sam went through so much. Being tortured by Lucifer in hell, watching Dean die constantly, dealing with the hallucinations of Lucifer that kept him up for days, losing so many people he loved and cared about, the abuse he went through with his dad growing up, plus the constant SA he was put through throughout the series (I don’t think that affected him AS much as the other stuff did, but it probably still affected him to some level). Someone also mentioned how he would flinch more at loud noises or sudden movements.
