I live in a small beach community that has lots of activities in the summer. Today there was a parade through the village for July 4th. I had no intention of going and standing in the crowd, but my neighbor dragged me to it.
Everyone was cheering the goofy floats and the children who decorated their bikes and older young adults that dressed up as Vikings or clowns or mermaids.
I didn't not like it and I didn't like it. The whole community was out. I just don't want to get to know all these people and feel like i have to go visit them on my walks with Annie.
Is this a PTSD thing? Do you join community groups or otherwise contribute to your town? If yes, what do you get out of it? If no, what keeps you from not joining the community?
