Those with CPTSD will easily struggle when it comes to socializing in any situation that we are presented with. Weddings, Parties, fun night out, group of friends, family gatherings and so on. The stress it creates causes us to experience flashbacks to when we experienced trauma and being social or avoiding social awkwardness will be extremely difficult and often overwhelming. For many of us we just won't even bother attempting the social interactions we face because it feels so much better and safer to not go and avoid any possible shame, humiliation and fear that we believe WILL happen if we go!
Please listen to this podcast about how someone with CPTSD struggles with socializing and experiencing social awkwardness.
