Is It a Response to Trauma?

I think in any situation, like overcompensating is a response, right, to having difficulty. I definitely had this thing, which I've only really reconciled in the last year where I only believe validation came externally. So there's a lot of that raptor. It really does the good thing, especially connected. To think about it sometimes as chemical, I think is quite interesting and allows if you're really struggling, that's the thing that allowed me to navigate a bit better with depression and anxiety. People feel shame wrapped up in that and people think it's them and it's chemical. You're not a bad person because of this, it's something that's going on
