A therapist said that sometimes being a loner is a trauma response. You’re so use to people you love not showing up for you or walking away or you may have grown up in a toxic environment. That the only one you could depend on was YOU! So you naturally feel safe when you’re alone
Nobody talks about the angry stage of healing. The rage you feel when you realize how much and how long you were taken advantage of. The absolute disgust you feel towards those people that mislead you. It comes in waves. Sometimes you'll feel healed and then it suddenly hits you.
