I haven’t yet resolved the conflict within myself.
It’s scary because i know how dangerous it is and how much it can really ruin things if I made a mistake.

I thought to myself about the 3 different aspects of psychology we study today:
Affect
Behaviour
Cognition
-
What matters a lot is really how we present ourselves to others, our behaviour.
Deviant emotion and cognition can easily be hidden so no one knows what you’re really feeling or thinking
but people judge you based on how one behaves, they respond based on that…
How well adjusted one appears is based off behaviour..
So if I suppress my thoughts and my emotions, would it work out better in the end?
Ironically while everything about the issue I’m grappling with can make me deliriously happy, in the same way it can make me utterly depressed.
