fear of communication is trauma based.
you either feel like your voice doesn’t matter, you think expressing how you feel is going to bring negative consequences, or you’re used to being silenced or invalidated
One of the downsides of not talking to people often is how quickly I can overshare when I finally find someone I’m comfortable with. I’ll be opening up& slowly realize I’ve said more than I should, while their dry replies are quietly reminding me that I should’ve stopped earlier.
Hardest pill to swallow is realizing people DO NOT CARE!!. They really don't! They'!! hurt you &really go on about their lives. Not even slightly affected about what they did to you & how you feel.
Whether it's friendships, relationships, or family.
when people make jokes about my love life but I stay up at night genuinely wondering if there's a person out there for me or if I'll be alone for the rest of my life
from now on, i’m going to start telling people “you’re committed to misunderstanding me & i don’t care to explain myself to you,” instead of over explaining myself
