I can relate, but I had something different. One a cold hearted despot. The other who taught me emotions showed be displayed to the extremes. To me I can't pretend to be anyone else. I can be messy and intense. But the ones who truly see me are the ones who are worth having around.
I write about something similar. It's a whole journey to uncover those bits, but it has many joyful and fascinating moments along the way. It's re-discovery for me, and I like that part a lot. Seeing things for the first time with new eyes.Im in love with that part.
Wow this spoke to me on a very deep level. I am also just learning how to show emotions I've buried and stifled to keep everyone else comfortable. I'm just now learning to get them out by bleeding ink. Thank you for this beautiful examination of your soul ❤️
Thank you so much for reading. It's hard to bleed ink when your emotions are shoved deep inside but honestly, it's the only way I can get it out sometimes.
'Detachment mistaken for Strength' is good. It reminds me of the old protocol for supporting the most whiny of our friends and colleagues: Be Supportive, but don't get Involved - J. Beth White
Yeah, if only I can find it. I swear I put it in one of those trunks in my brain, I just have this giant ring of keys and no clue which one fits where.

Psychologists call this intergenerational trauma. What are you thoughts?
For me, this is absolutely intergenerational trauma. I come from cold parents, who came from cold parents whose parents were probably cold too.
I hear you and I understand. ❤️
"We bleed carefully, and with intention."
Well put. Just subbed ❤️
Thank you! I really appreciate it.

I'm glad you're able to find joy in the process! It's definitely a long one.

Thank you. I'm sorry you've experienced the same thing.
This really, really spoke to me. It’s so honest. Thank you for putting into words what so many of us feel but struggle to say.

Which can be helpful in the workplace, but it sure is hard in my personal life!

Love you!
Love you more!
I can relate to much of this . We don’t have to try to be human . We just are. We just have to learn to embrace our humanity.
