Do you know what it takes for a star to shine?
A shit load of darkness
The reason you isolate when you're struggling is because as a child, you were left alone to deal with your emotions
No one came to comfort you. No one held space for your tears. No one taught you that your feelings were safe
So now, when life feels heavy, your nervous system repeats the only pattern it knows ... hide, handle it alone, don't be a burden
@rainbow_funguy This is so true for me and explains so much without shaming Isolation here isn’t a flaw. It’s a learned protection
@wickedwhisper I always wondered why I do this. Thank you for allowing me to feel I'm not as alone as I often feel
