Some amount of hiding is ok (((muff)))

It's better to hide once in a while rather than retraumatize yourself by pushing too much. IMO

I have issues with shelters... tarps, large tents, canvas or tin... and I don't think anyone notices but I won't go in under one if I can stand just outside it to talk or see. I am always aware and somewhat leery if I have to go in under one. Just one of my triggers. It's a huge safety issue for me that only my T and you guys here understand. To someone else it's rather petty. Oh well.
