Does anyone else feel sadness when looking at childhood photos?

I feel sadness when looking at old photos of when I was a child.
My brother feels the same way.

Why is this?

I had a happy childhood overall.

Maybe it’s because so many of my family have long passed away.

I was free from the chains of my mental illness back then.

I think it’s normal feeling what you feel. As children we were meant to be carefree and no worries in the world. I would love to have that part of being a kid back.

I hated my childhood.

Living with undiagnosed Autism meant I was always in trouble and getting punished - when now I am told that it all could have been different had someone realised what I was going through.
