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 think it’s pretty standard. I grew up in an isolated environment, so it’s a bit of a chicken-or-egg situation.
