Dealing with Overwhelming Emotions in Social Situations

I grew up in a household of a abuse on multiple levels. I still don’t handle conflict well. If it is for your health you have every right to walk away or express you need a break to feel safe. It is not your fault and for me it puts me into a state of hyper vigilance and disassociation that frustrate people further. I hope you are able to practice keeping safe in the ways you can and maybe after things dissipate you can explain to at least one person how it benefits you and they can understand. I wish you a lot of luck

I agree yelling and arguing is a trigger for me. I also do love my space when I'm not well. I admit I usually keep quiet even if what people are doing doesn't help me because I'm afraid if I speak up they will be mad at me
