That's not healthy, though. That's repression, which is bad for you. I know it's bad for you, as I have not had more than six emotions in the past 20 years.
It's also not healthy to sit and wallow in your misery. Having a purpose can be a good thing, but the dose makes the poison.
It’s like I used to work somewhere and this guys mum (I think) died, he came in did a shift and then took a lot of time off…I think he just needed the normality and time to process.
But don’t you think there’s something wrong that people are conditioned or broke that they have to be like that?
BTDT. Having a routine is conditioning we do to ourselves, but for so much of life, its the most useful thing ever for so long as we can keep it up.* The trick is to not be further hurt by guilt for failing to continue with it or get back to it quickly enoug/"just so".
