      One of my best friend’s thing is being restrained. He has a bachelor’s degree, is a teacher, and is very smart. But if someone tries to restrain him he loses his fucking mind. A cop tried to put handcuffs on him when we were in college and he punched the cop in the face, took off running across the campus with handcuffs around one wrist, jumped several fences, and got away. He reacts in similar ways any time someone tries to restrain him. Idk why he’s like that, and he doesn’t know either. He said he can’t think about anything except for getting away in those scenarios.

        My wife one time tried to playfully pin me and I freaked tf out. I totally get not wanting to be retrained. It feels like suffocation
