It doesn't matter how much my logical mind understands that someone's face or posture or tone of voice is probably not about me. It's still deeply triggering. This is a persistent trigger that leaves me feeling very dysregulated.
The only thing that restores stability is for the person to independently show positive emotion to me, even if I ask for it it doesn't fix the problem because my mind says they don't mean it, if they meant it then they would do it proactively.. All the cognitive reframing in the world doesn't fix it. Believe me I have tried. I don't like other people having this much power over my experience.
Anyone else here sensitive to negative nonverbal communication? Have you found a solution?
