More boobs than brainsI have been having a lot of thoughts lately about neurodivergent and aloneness. I keep hearing about friends with ADHD or autism who are mostly alone.
Not necessarily lonely, but often alone. And it keeps coming up in the sense of being OK with being alone. As in they have to explain that they are not lonely even if they are alone. Like often they seek being alone.
just diz :trans_verify::lesbian_verify: (moved)@FinalGirl@blackqueer.life I know you'll probably add to this but just want to say that I personally isolate myself out of trauma response, but I often yearn to be social. I'm not okay being alone as often as I am. It sucks.
FoolishOwl@FinalGirl@blackqueer.life My partner was reminding me it's a trauma response.

@foolishowl@social.coop @FinalGirl@blackqueer.life "My partner was reminding me it's a trauma response." This. My traumas have made me very weary of connecting with people, because inadvertently - or sometimes purposefully - they cause more pain and trauma. It's a basic self-preservation response. It's one of those things that has been really exploitable under capitalism - as I can through all my focus and efforts into work, but as I have been learning, really shitty for my emotional well being.
