@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.
