    Something similar for me but opposite, childhood trauma gave me anxiety over others’ emotions, even positive, strong emotions make me anxious.

    What makes me strong is that I can change. I can learn to make space for my and others’ feelings, and we can process them. Even my anxiety is just a feeling that doesn’t control me; I decide what to do.
