according to physiology people who go silent when somethings upsets them or hurts them are often experiencing a coping mechanism called emotional withdrawal. 1/4
Once you have honest conversations with someone whether friendships/romantic relationships, it changes how they move & makes it so difficult to navigate going forward. I find myself wanting to completely withdraw in such cases cause if we can’t be real then what’s the point?🥴
Truly for me, the one thing I want to unlearn is over extending myself, putting myself in a place of discomfort for the comfort of others. There’s no reward for that thing, except self loath
There is an abundance of love waiting for me out there waiting to receive and love me wholeheartedly as i love it wholeheartedly back. There are people i still have not met and they will love me as i love them. 🤍 we will heal and enjoy life abundantly.
it's unfair how people who traumatize you get to move on and progress with their life so casually and carefree while you're healing and relearning all the basics just to feel human again
