“People are hard. It doesn't mean that it's easy to be in. It's just easier to leave work and go home. Now being home alone and isolated and siloed in my little space before I go back to work to be with the people. So, yeah, I've been in that space a few times. Yeah. I lived there so long in that distrust of people. I started distrusting people before I was cognizant or aware that that was a thing. Just knowing.”
