A thought...
So here is my thought. Often I have heard the terms "shut off", "emotionally unavailable", or "not truly living" to describe people. Often similar thoughts have crossed my mind when engaging in relationship with people. Today I pondered upon the idea that perhaps what ones perception says is "emotionally unavailable" or "not truly feeling" is actually the person having healthy boundaries or is not run over by there emotions.I realized today that a friend of mine is what I would have once said was shut off is actually just really good at setting healthy emotional boundaries. He does not let emotion sway his decision, he lets his morality lead it. Meaning...he lets what he deemed right or wrong in his mind be the deciding factor...not his emotions. Some would view this as a hinderance, but others would say it is a healthy thing. I think it is a healthy thing in part.
Just a thought...
