Facing and Embracing Emotions
People often pretend to be unaffected by their emotions because they fear that acknowledging their feelings would mean they have to confront and process them. This avoidance is often a result of feeling like there isn't enough space or capacity to address these emotions. Many individuals can relate to the tendency to ignore their emotions to protect themselves or others, either from the intensity of those feelings or from potential conflict. Some may also try to appear stronger than their past experiences, attempting to outmuscle the pain they have endured.
