You're welcome! It was helpful for me too and it makes sense since I've also noticed that my need to be/look busy can be a way to camouflage and keep others at bay :)

@Espejo, I appreciate you spreading awareness on this complex and important aspect. Understanding and accepting these experiences is a first step toward feeling more at peace with them; otherwise they can feel unsettling. These traits are some of the ways to cope, with the mind trying to self-preserve after complex, layered trauma. Some people even develop intense empathy and altruism toward others’ conditions and suffering while feeling numb themselves, merely existing and operating in survival mode. These experiences are hard to put into words and can vary from person to person. For many, they aren’t permanent, and having all of them at once is uncommon.
