It’s not eye contact.
It’s survival.
“Sorry, I’m not staring, just dissociating.”
If you know… you know.
That blank look?
That faraway pause?
That moment where your body is here but your mind needed to step out for air?
Yeah. This is for that.
The Design
Front features a large Aztec-inspired Meztli eye — moon centered, wings extended — symbolic of awareness, protection, and seeing beyond what’s visible.
Below it, in soft serif lettering:
“Sorry, I’m not staring, just dissociating.”
Honest. Slightly funny. Slightly too real.
It says what most of us would never admit out loud.
Why This One Hits
For many of us, dissociation wasn’t something we learned in therapy.
It was something we learned in childhood without us even realizing it.
Stay quiet.
Stay small.
Disappear when it feels too big.
This tee doesn’t romanticize that.
It acknowledges it — with a little dark humor and a lot of self-awareness.
