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.

    How will it hurt people for you to change?

    I find it very difficult with socializing cause it feels like my mind and mouth are so disconnected that what ever comes out is a jumbled mess in person and then I constantly second guess talking online most of the time cause I assume I’ll always will be seen a idiot or a target

    also I’m not really interested in some of the most common interest people have or is too specific for the topic that people don’t really care about or too hard for me to put into words or text.
