Are you like Spock? As a child did you decide to switch off your emotions and embrace logic?...

Its from coping that i learned i can turn off my emotions. Doesnt always become logical thought though...

No. As a child I was quite emotional. I only embraced logic after I became an adult

It was a way to cope with mental illness. I couldn't trust my own brain but I could trust in the scientific method.

I tried that, more the practice of stoicism. Found it doesn’t work well for actual healing.

I don't think it was a concious choice, it just sort of happened

SolGryn · 31-35, M

Yes. Its the best way to survive

Foreverconfused · 56-60, F

It’s because I’m an empath and had to die to many emotions for my own sanity

I wish. I'm a mess. And my story is long and whatever. Strange, I guess.

No never learned how to do that

SW-User

Nope.

No, I'm nothing like Spock. I always loved his ears, but I'm more like Kirk than anyone else on The Enterprise.

SW-User

Spock learned it from me

Abuse and bullying cuts deep and is hard to switch of

If nobody cares if you are frightened, happy or miserable, eventually you stop showing those feelings.

I was a very logical kid, but it wasn’t put on, things had to make sense to me.
I also had rather pointy ears.
