If you're unaware then kindly try to get more information from someone that has become more distant, it's possible that a rumor has spread about you among active members or volunteers. Remember that it's natural to have a strong emotional reaction as certain accusations can attack your moral character, and behind-the-scenes discussions can create social isolation. Without being given a chance to respond and with a loss of community connections, it's easy for a fight-or-flight response to be triggered and to feel an urgency to do something. Remember to document everything and request a clear process (seek specific examples or evidence and make sure the DRC procedure is being followed). Connect with those you trust and maintain professional relationships. Having an outside perspective can also help keep you grounded. Write about your thoughts privately and if something seems overwhelming remember that you don't have to respond immediately.
