EMOTIONAL PROTECTION
"You need to learn different alternatives to closing down your emotions so you can be emotionally safe in this world"
Sometimes to stop yourself from being hurt you either think of the worst case scenario as reality and see if you can handle it if it occurs OR you end up shutting off your emotions, well at least you think you have, you tell everyone your heart has gone on a nice little holiday. Dont get me wrong, you are not all of a sudden evil or a bad person, no in fact you just protect yourself with more armor to avoid being disappointed, after all that is what homo-sapiens do right? Not intentionally sometimes but hey they are human for a reason.
Actions hurt. Words hurt. So whenever words are written or spoken you either play it back in your mind or read it again and again to make sure you hadn't read or heard it right or somehow the words would change. The next phase is to plan what to say to the person or what you could have said in case the opportunity arises.
Be the bigger person? You form alternative scenarios in your mind, what happens if you take the high road, ignore and cut yourself totally from the person or you confront them , try to see eye to eye, see if there's any chance of resolving the issue after all grudges are a pain in the ass to keep up and never a good idea in the end. Your child like mind sometimes still wants to fight back, the only way to overcome is the conscience within you or the energy you have to see you suppress the urge.
You might think you are emotionally numb but its just what you tell yourself, your emotions are there they are just buried as you hear them at the back of your mind i.e. the words you would tell yourself if you had emotions and how you would come but you push it away because you want to believe you don't need internal advice.
"You can't start feeling new feelings without first dealing with the old ones that you are suppressing. Even if you think those old feelings are irrelevant- they are not. You can't move forward without cleaning up the past".
This blog right here is you connecting to your emotions since you do not want to feel them physically nor mentally you let it out here and that's you done, that's how you think you have handled what you are going through. It's the final layer of your emotional protection.
