Cynni's Blog<p><strong>See? It’s wrong…</strong></p> I recently wrote the post Doing it wrong here. It had not been shared yet, as it was scheduled behind several other posts that I've already written before. So the text had not been shared yet, when I got to Mastodon one day, and someone bluntly told me that I was doing it wrong. It sounded very accusing, and it triggered all the old trauma bits with me... I ended up just blocking them, as I don't need that kind of abuse. Fortunately, some very sweet friends sent me very nice and supportive messages. But still, the one nasty remark triggered loads in me, and I had a rubbish night with bad nightmares. 😢 I don't understand why strangers have this much power over me. Even when I know I was trying to do the right thing...
