Trauma teaches many survivors to stay alone because isolation feels safer. Over time, many become introverted, not by choice, but by adaptation. It may even explain why some people become asocial, preferring not to go out or engage, not because they dislike people, but because they don’t feel safe around them. And that raises an important question: are we truly social animals? Do we really need to be surrounded by people to thrive? If living alone, doing everything by yourself, brings peace and safety, does that not threaten the idea of “community,” or was that system ever truly built for everyone?

Trauma survivors rarely say, “I need help.”
They say:
“I’ll figure it out.”
“It’s fine.”
“I’ve handled worse.”
They become their own safety net.
Because life taught them that depending on others isn’t safe.

Come on down for a @WakeForest game! I am still beyond grateful for the event in 2016 when you and @johncarlos1968 came to campus and talked with hundreds of students and again when you packed the WFU chapel in 2018 for #RethinkingCommunity. YOU are a real one Dave!

I'm sorry I didn't see you there, @MHarrisPerry, but I certainly did hear some of the conversation @Gov_Ehrlich prompted! Continuing the #RethinkingCommunity tradition!

Thanks to @bbtcenter for bringing @Gov_Ehrlich to @WakeForest today. I enjoyed bringing my Introduction to American politics students to hear him speak today. Prompted lots of conversation. Also... hii @jroii!
