So, today my therapist explained why it's not weakness to be fragile or easily flustered or not so thick skinned anymore.
Every person is a glass.
We start out as an empty glass.
Let's for sake of demonstration say it's an 8 ounce glass.
Every trauma adds water to the glass.
You can handle the traumas until the glass is full.
The glass gets full and if more trauma comes the glass is overflowing.
The glass being full is all the bullshit you can handle before it's all too much.
There's no upgrade to a bigger cup though.
The goal is to reduce the water in your cup. Free up the space in the glass.
I don't know what level my glass was before the memes, but those memes hit me like Niagara Falls overflowing my glass.
My glass is pretty much Atlantis. It's singing "Under The Sea". I'm thinking of adopting a Kraken but they're so hard to potty train.
