I got triggered yesterday by the Turpin family story as I realised how similar it was to my upbringing. That with the fact that I'm dealing with major consequences made me extremely emotional and I was panicking. I asked a friend if I can call and he said yes. I barely found the words to explain and I sounded like an idiot dwelling until the guy was put off he aked to call me later and never did. He's dealing with his own thing (ptsd), and as I'm still reading adult children of emotionally immature parents I realised how immature I am and how my interaction with the friend showcased my low emotional intelligence.

Now I'm feeling regretful about the interaction and I feel like I should say something. I have to admit it's coming from a fear of abandonment and being judged. Do you think I should explain or just go on my journey of self discovery and bettering myself?
