Spilling out all your trauma on a stranger, or other person who isn’t prepared for it is inappropriate.
However.
Inappropriate does not mean evil.
Inappropriate does not mean unworthy of love.
Inappropriate does not mean abusive.
All people– whether they’re trauma survivors, mentally disabled, neurodivergent, or not– all of us, sometimes act inappropriately and cross social boundaries.
When you cross a social boundary, it’s okay and normal for the person who’s boundary you crossed to want to withdraw their presence from you.
It’s not okay for them to abuse, bully, insult or demean you because of it.
