This is What #Avoidant People Wish You Knew

You want to let people in—truly, you do—but every time #closeness feels too real, something inside whispers, be careful. For those who feel avoidant, #connection is both the thing they crave and the thing that terrifies them most. It’s not #coldness; it’s #selfprotection shaped by fear of #rejection, #pastwounds, and #emotions that sometimes feel too big to carry.

We don't flag the problem at work because we'll be tasked with the solution.

The stories we tell aren't protecting others. They're protecting ourselves.”

Ночь
Я размышляю о смысле жизни, её целях и причинах, а также о том, какова цель 'я', если ты умрёшь.
Если сознание 'я' ограничено телом и вынуждено принудительно соответствовать правилам реальности, и при этом у нас есть защита от самоуничтожения, то, возможно, жизнь можно рассматривать как своеобразное заключение в тюрьме.
Мысли про сознание 'я'.

English:
"I contemplate the meaning of life, its goals and reasons, as well as the purpose of 'self' when one dies. If the 'self' is constrained by the body and compelled to conform to the rules of reality, all while having protection from self-destruction, then life can perhaps be viewed as a peculiar confinement in a prison. Thoughts on the 'self'."

If someone calls claiming to be from your financial institution - even if they sound very much like what you'd expect from a bank and say that it's an urgent matter - ask them for a case reference number and tell them you'll call them back at the 1-800 number on the bank's website.

The fraudsters are really out in force at the moment.
