Is it though? Or is it just a coping strategy? A way to understand, and give recognition to the feeling - because I didn’t have proper attunement. I’m still feeling the feeling when I hit something that resonates and validates what I’m feeling. Otherwise I question if what I’m feeling is appropriate or if it’s a belief that needs some updating and my mind keeps bothering me about it. “Intellectualizing” and understanding my feeling gives me confidence to make action and to mitigate this god awful feeling moving forward. … I’m still very much feeling the feeling. But now I can articulate my feeling instead of acting out my feeling. It impossible to be consciously fully aware all the time. We need a layer, a coping mechanism to stay mentally healthy. Your mind prefers to stay in the abstract world. If you force your mind into awareness of reality for too long, it can’t fantasize, It can’t play and have free fun away from judgement or criticism. It will start to bring the abstract into reality… and thats psychosis. Psychosis is not fun. The fastest way to induce anxiety in a person. Watch them. Same rule applies to your mind. Sometimes it’s appropriate when a correction needs to be made. But otherwise, as long as it’s not causing other problems, cope how you cope. Work as you work. Live as you live. It’s not wrong. It’s perfectly you
