As a member in a traumagenic system, I’d just like to note that not all coping mechanisms are universally healthy or harmless.
Some are actually damaging towards yourself, some are damaging towards others.
Not all are even intentional.
Please practice self awareness.

(cw mention of abuse)
You may have a coping mechanism that works for you, but I would recommend exploring other options if your choice actually harms others.
Some abuse victims end up becoming abusive or helping abusers in some way for instance, which damages other victims.
