I don't think anyone walks on eggshells with me. Quite the opposite. I have so much trouble relating to others now that I tend to avoid people. When I am with others, I am constantly scrutinizing situations to make sure I am doing nothing wrong. Like @Pottershand says, its exhausting. Most people I knew before the trauma are no longer in my life; they couldn't stand to be around me anymore (maybe they were walking on eggshells? I'm not sure), and I couldn't stand their discomfort, or whatever it was. The few who stuck around are my true friends, and they are pretty brutally honest about any behavior of mine they don't like. I don't get away with much with them, but they also try to understand, for the most part. But definitely, on the occasions where I have to be with others for whatever reason, its me who is being super careful, not the other way around.
