When our body goes into fight or flight, we over-explain.
We might start apologizing "I'm so sorry I just can't..." then give every reason possible around why we did something.
Your body knows.
In the past 50 years we’ve disconnected from the body. Those fear responses. That feeling in your gut that something just isn’t right. The tightness in your jaw after your around someone that triggers bad memories.
Your body guides you, listen.
Social anxiety is a term for fight or flight.
A sign of a dysregulated nervous system is you're only at ease when completely alone. Being around new people triggers a fear response.
@Theholisticpsyc My boyfriend always texts me that he needs my hugs and when I see him, he hugs me f o r e v e r. and then he feels better and he's more relaxed, a little happier.
If you're a people pleaser, you have an automatic impulse to say "yes" or "sure" when asked to do something. Then, when the time comes to do it, you feel nothing but regret.
