Your Definition
The specific, persistent state of hyper-vigilance and dread that stems from being part of a marginalized group. It’s the gut-clench before speaking in a meeting where you’re the only person of color, wondering if your point will be ignored or credited to someone else. It’s the scanning of a room for safe exits or allies, not for fun, but as a survival protocol. This anxiety is future-oriented, rooted in the learned expectation that social environments are minefields of potential prejudice, rejection, or danger, leading to a constant, draining state of alert.
