When I talk to people, I hate them. When I don’t talk to people, I miss having a community.

Yup same. If anyone is looking for friends. I’m late 20s early 30s woman. I have CPTSD and AUDHD and am getting back into baking and caring for plants. I am looking for gaming buddies and I also love to read!

Me too and on top of that I also have (discouraged/“quiet”) bpd and schizotypal personality. I’m going into residential soon the long term effects of having no friends are making everything 100x worse

When I realized that 98 percent of my problems were brought on by the presence of others, I am now much more regulated. I keep others away intentionally cause I'm so over all them not being loyal.

i’m realizing there’s no point in confiding in anyone or being vulnerable because it almost always leads to gaslighting/invalidation

I feel all of this. The overthinking is brutal and feeling like you’re always going to be misunderstood.

Unfortunately, this only changes when your hypervigilance changes. I get it. I have been in the same space. Then I figured out that I was just bothered by normal behaviors that I also do to others. I chilled my nervous system and have friendships that are fulfilling in adulthood that I never had before 25.

Same but I also can’t be friends with people who are completely unhealed. I understand the maladaptive behaviors that they may have. But that doesn’t mean I will tolerate the disrespect. And those who are unhealed typically can’t understand that their behavior is harmful.

Wow, I never met someone who also had c-ptsd. Combined with OCD has been a nightmare. You are literally my mirror.

I make people uncomfortable when I tell them some of the things I have been through. I have a really bubbly personality and good sense of humor, so people are always shocked to hear my backstory, and then they always see me differently or put me on a pedestal for being "so strong." And I can't take it.

I have CPTSD and I just can’t do small talk, it’s awkward, it’s unnecessary, and it’s not deep enough for me to even warrant wanting it because I’m masking so hard for a conversation so small it’s useless

I’ve been noticing when I vent to some friends or get vulnerable, I end up justifying and defending my feelings instead of getting connection/support. Been hard to realize I have very few people I can be open with

I can be friends with people who have had trauma to the point we recognise it in each other on the street 😭 it's like being able to see a whole other dimension

I can’t continually explain to everyone I meet AND my long time friends what’s going on in my head and body. Between the CPTSD, ADHD & chronic health issues, im exhausted. Soooooo exhausted ❤️
