Are you like Spock?

As a child did you decide to switch off your emotions and embrace logic? And if so, was it your way of coping with emotional neglect or abuse? 😐
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.

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

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

@JustGoneNow I'm a Spockette. I couldn't deal with my childhood.

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

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

Yes. Its the best way to survive
MissPerfect · 22-25, F

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

@Iwillwait Would you bed an alien woman?
Iwillwait · M
@MissPerfect Of course. 😏

What screen can I watch this sci- fi on? @Iwillwait

If nobody cares if you are frightened, happy or miserable, eventually you stop showing those feelings.
Abuse and bullying cuts deep and is hard to switch of

I could be, if required to.
vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
Never could do that
Ferric67 · M
No, I'm good
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.
MissPerfect · 22-25, F
@bijouxbroussard My childhood was completely devoid of parental affection. Oh no! I'm just like them!
