And I hated that because that was what I had to do as a child raised in a turbulent environment. I was great at connecting with people and noticing their cues, primarily because I was a hyper-vigilant kid who catered to the needs of people who could explode or leave me at any moment.
I paused for few seconds after reading this paragraph before I could continue. Demmm. Why is it so relatable? I guess, we have same trauma in this aspect. I just got lucky to have a friendly senior that I always could rely on. I hope you can have one in the future when you handle another big project again that you needed help with.
I hope so too! Hehe hope we can have experiences as an adult where we are safe and where we don't have to be alert all the time 😄
