And the paradox is people view you as being strong and then offer less and less help in life

I don’t look for that romantic attachment. It’s likely part of my hyper independence.

🥲🥲“People who are hyper independent don’t want to be. They are out of necessity”

and then you attract people who cling to your support bc they view your independence as a superpower, instead of a survival tactic.

Worst part is when you thought you had those familial relationships but what they loved was your hyper independence.

People don’t understand how isolating it is to not have even one safe, reliable person & it feels so alienating

This is why breakups for hyper independent people is so hard! You are left without a family again and no support suddenly (and this is always a threat the entire time too)

This is the single hardest part of dating as person w/ trauma. I desire such a deep type of connection that is unfair to ask a stranger to commit to.

I dream of never being called resilient again. I’m exhausted by strength. I want support softness and ease. Not patted on the back for how well 1/2
