lowkey sounds like past trauma and an anxious attachment style (maybe even fearful avoidant attachment?)

i’m trying really hard not to lose it right now because i have to get ready for my long ass band rehearsal (during which i will see him. all day.) and i feel so anxious that im almost ready to compare the feeling to genuine fear? this sucks so bad i wonder if its a trauma response or something
