I was like this when I first started dealing with my trauma. I was flooded all the time and I couldn’t figure out why other people were not responding well to me.
I also didn’t realize that since I was finally embracing who I really was, I needed to embrace the people I was actually invested in spending time with.
I was behaving like my same social skills of self-effacement and shyness would work in brand new situations. Nope.
It’s a good thing to be the main character of your own life but only your own life.
Other people haven’t gone on your journey with you.
