I think plenty of traumatized people just end up being less social & in general just limit the potential for conflict in a way that makes their lives really rough but their survival mode is also antagonistic toward their spirit bc it’s sometimes informed by the abusers behavior so it’s just like being stuck between a rock and a hard place so they develop a rich inner world instead of like trying to “move” anywhere socially if that makes any sense. They usually appear as normal and don’t care for fitting in but want to blend in. They’ll stay single for a long time in their life and find some other pseudo outcast and they develop some codependent crazy ass relationship with and they both are only bonded over their fear of losing eachother
