where is the freeze gang at
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool—oh wait, that's just dissociation 😉
Ok so when I'm stressed I'm a workaholic hyperactive overwhelmed people pleaser who will slam doors, self harm, get numb, and shut down.
Not even kidding.
Really though I think it goes like this as I progress from stressed out to the breaking point. I think my M.O. is Fawn > Flight > Freeze > Fight. When I'm pushed to a certain point I explode in anger, usually directed at inanimate objects and self. I've been living in Fawn for several years now
Obviously not a "pick one" kind of situation. Everyone I know does a little of all of these categories, and lots of two or three.

Trauma is negative by definition. It isn't just a bad thing that you experience, it is an injury you receive as a consequence. Maybe you can find positive aspects of breaking a leg -- I get to work on my novel! -- but the injury is purely negative.

Socks with sandals is certainly traumatic.
Oh, not a sock. That's a giant bandage. Sandal is the only thing that fits over it. :(
Yeah, a lot of these "cool guides" are just some BS that someone on reddit came up with.
Fun fact, you can have more than one!
One of each please
Bold of you to assume anyone has a sense of self.
I swear a new F word gets added to that list every time I see it.
So far I've seen friend, flock, flop, flail, funster, fib...

Enter three or four of those on Google and the rest will pop everywhere in different lengths and combinations.
