I don't react to a tragic happening any more. I took so many bad things as a kid and some people think I don't care about anything. It's just too hard for me to get emotional. I can't cry no more.
I have a tendency to check out when the stakes are too high in a movie.
When I am really angry, I clam up, go cold.
Personally, when things upset me, I get quiet and closed off. I have nothing to say, and a chill sets in while I think about what's going on.
To have felt too much is to end in feeling nothing.
I know from my own clinical work that when people are beaten and hurt, they numb out so that they can't feel anymore.
It is quite amazing what I didn't feel after a while. I didn't really want to feel things.
I remember thinking I couldn't be bothered to feel any emotions any more.
