Given how common isolation is with CPTSD, what have been your experiences with socialization?

Do you find it difficult? Do you even try? Did you have to work out of isolation? Were you never isolated?

I personally have isolated myself over the past decade, but am slowly building relationships on and offline that have forced me to change. I’m not sure I want to stop, but that would require me to hurt the people who care about me, which I refuse to do.

Also since this is the first post, welcome to the fediverse.

I feel like I know exactly what you mean by your second paragraph. Like any amount of interaction, even responding to texts, is a gargantuan effort and almost an unwanted chore.

A place to talk about CPTSD.

  1. No diagnosis checking is allowed, If someone says they have it, they have it. It’s not your job to dig through someone’s medical history. It’s invalidating.

  2. None of the very basic isms and phobias. Includes but not limited to racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia.

  3. CW your post if it contains triggering topics. If you have to ask, just use a CW.
