When I was younger, it was “easy” for me to go with the flow. It didn’t matter who, where, when, or why. I was fine meeting or interacting with anyone.

Now, I find myself going into fight or flight mode. Especially if I don’t have my own way “out” such as own car, space, etc.

I had a massive panic attack yesterday because my plans changed and I was not mentally prepared to pivot because someone I was not familiar with was tagging along.

Anyone feel similar?
