@twistedrope yup. It seems silly to me all the rules, but they are twisted and reaching for control they don't deserve or have privilege to. Control that nobody gets. It's so draining and boring.
I definitely agree. I use to be like this and it was exhausting. I sought help and found out I had ocd. I took a class and it helped reshape my thinking. Plus, getting older has slowed me down. In the past when I felt hurt, my anger would get the best of me. I'm beyond grateful for the coping skills and techniques I learned in class. I have ptsd as well and was always on high alert. I still am at times.
I have learned if they want to walk without you there's not much you can do. Questioning or making a reason why you are alone is also a false narrative to protect yourself you understand or accept. While I'm stumbling upon friends who hurt me were never really my friends
@awildsheepschase you can be alone for valid reasons, there's a lot of people who are very particular about their narrative.
They won't accept you at all if you live outside their realm of what is acceptable.

@ScreamingFox Being alone is never about vaild reasons, it's how we find ourselves. But I have chosen being alone before.
@awildsheepschase I did not choose to be this alone. I choose to embrace it for now though. I'm tired.

@SageWanderer so it's always been like this?

@ScreamingFox Probably from the beginning of time there have been people that have been manipulating, cunning and controlling.

I’ve experienced this exact thing with someone this weekend.

@SinlessOnslaught yup. All you can do is break out of it yourself.
