How do you express pain?
in Psychology ·
I don't think I show it,
and honestly, there’s no point in anyone trying to argue with me about it. I know how my own head works better than anyone else, and frankly, hearing someone else's "advice" doesn't do squat to make me feel better. If things get rough, I feel like people are just picking at an open wound.
I'm a DIY kind of person,😁 so it's just me and time—if we can actually patch things up along the way.🙂
I guess some people find it easier to be coddled, to have someone guide them or offer sympathy, and hey, that's fine. Everyone knows what works for them, and that's all that matters.
But right now, in terms of how I express pain,—indirectly, for sure—anyone who actually knows me will notice during these stretches that there's a sort of erosion happening in my character. Or, I don't know, maybe it's just that I become more emotionally constricted. I shut down, I turn into a total introvert, and I just lose interest in everything...
On a physical level, it manifests as smoking more and eating less.
The main thing is that I eventually get through it. Always.🙂 No matter how slow my methods might be, they work for me.
