Joy Taylor

That was a choice.

What's an unsafe space for joy?

What does that look like?

I think, well, I have a lot of trauma.

So I would definitely, like, if you're, like, gaslighting me, like, you're trying to convince me that something that I didn't do, I did.

Or I did do, I didn't do.

Or you're...

Trying to manipulate me in any way.

I think for me, like I like consistency with people.

So when people are inconsistent and it's very obvious that they're intentionally being inconsistent, it's not because like, oh, you know, I got busy and I forgot about this or something like it's really like a strategic thing.

way of moving that just puts me in a space where I feel like I have to be on the defense on the light end.

Like, obviously there's things people can do that immediately make you feel unsafe, but it's really just more of the subtleties, the, um, what's the word I'm looking for?

Uh, the, uh,

microaggressions.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for that.

Yeah.

The microaggressions, that type of stuff, just like that puts you on alert and then you can see things in people.

And yeah, I don't, you don't have a whole lot of chances.
