i think this is *the thing* when growing up ND/cPTSD. you have to headbutt your way through the solid oak door of the NT word and what's expected of you.

so, like a stranger in a strange land, you reverse-engineer all the "rules" and "norms" to behave in a way that's expected of you.

the biggest problem is that there actually IS NO RULEBOOK. they all do whatever they want and retroactively change their vibes-based understanding to make their behavior OK, if not valorous.
