#defence mechanism

[girl-that-writes]

Everyone keeps telling you, "It's okay to reach out, it's okay to ask for help" which is a good thing, for sure it is. But it's also alright if you're scared that there's no one to take your hand at the moment. Sometimes, as a defence mechanism, our brain shuts everyone out. It's not your fault, love. It's really not. Don't guilt yourself over "burning bridges" because it was you doing the best you could with the little energy you had back then. And maybe now it's the fear of how they'll react that scares you.

But here's the thing. Love and care come to us in the most natural way possible. And most of us only swim against the current for the initial few moments. So the good news is, if the bridges were once real, they can be built again. The people who have genuinely cared about you once, can and will care about you again. They might be cross at being shut out for a little period of time, which is valid too, but they'll get over it for you. Because it's you.

"I suppose all Londoners who survived the winter of 1940 with nerves unimpaired, did develop what the psychologists call 'a defence mechanism' - they learned to disregard disessential bangs."

My Anger Armours Me

Sometimes I hold my anger so close to my heart that it burns and leaves a branded mark.

I question why I lean into rage when I know other ways;

So many coping skills and tools yet I choose this embrace.

The red hot fire almost inspires me to survive,

Like some sort of fucked up thrill I chase to feel alive.

Anger.

The hellfire that fuels my defence against danger;

These deep emotions like fear and grief are easily buried beneath fury.

For it’s far easier to feel rage and wage war than it is to be gentle and heal the hurt underneath.

What’s left of me if I no longer embody fury?

Who will I be if not vengeful and hardened;

If not the goddess of darkness;

If not mistress of madness…

How will I know I am safe;

If I let go of these faces;

If I forfeit the cave of a grave I call home…

If I am no longer angry;

If rage and fury no longer armour me;

What will be left of me…?

getting out

sometimes you just have to get out of the situation you’re mute in. yes, sm can make you mute around even kind, supportive people. but there are some situations where sm is triggered by people making you feel unsafe or unheard. in those cases, you just have to get out, rather than focusing on trying to ‘fix’ your sm. sm can be a defence mechanism; it can also be a wonderful canary in the a coal mine (meaning: warning sign) for things you may not know are making you anxious.

this is why reducing sm to ‘negative reinforcement’ is unhelpful. sometimes you don’t need to learn to speak to someone; you just need to get away from that person.

lots of people find their sm hugely improves when they get out of major mute situations. for example, leaving school, or moving to a new work, or leaving home. while that’s impossible for many, it’s important to recognise that sometimes the situation itself is the problem. that said, sm won’t magically go away once you leave those major situations behind. you still have it; it can still be triggered; there can be other situations - including ones that other ppl wouldn’t feel anxious in, because while it can be a defence mechanism, it’s still a disorder. 🌹🌹

Challenge #04077-K059: Defensive Action Lessons

Jay asks to sit and watch as Lilicoon is talking self-defense classes. -- Anon Guest

"We both know I don't need it with you," said Lilcoon. "I wish to be prepared for all other circumstances."

"I'm not guarding you," said Jay. "I'm not worried. I want..." they flailed for the right words, trying to fish them out of the air with their fingers. "I want to know how it's taught."

"You already know how to fight, yes?" said Lilcoon.

i think sometimes 'jane austen girly' jason todd would try and screw with damian after getting particularly agitated by his never-ending formality, and just start matching it in every conversation.

he turns into a walking shakespeare play until damian himself gets annoyed at the way he's being spoken to and tones it down.

John: Combine second pipe with clever disguise

Ceci n'est pas une pipe. À moins que..?

Your DAD maintains numerous pipes around the household. A father without a pipe is like a strapping roughneck without a toothpick. That is to say, HE IS A RATHER PISS-POOR EXCUSE FOR A ROUGHNECK IF YOU ASK ME. You'd rather not take the PIPE, though. The first one tastes bad enough as it is. How you suffer for your comedy.

We're back with the normality obsession. It appears to me that, the more john does those repetitions, the more he seems to try convincing himself of its sacred untouchable truth. A precious routine to protect his psyche. And if anyone dare trying to make him question it, all would crumble like a card castle. And so, he yells and think it's just a sick joke. Both John and Jane deal with denial, taking it lightly then exasperated to finally burst out of anger.

I wonder which one is harder: living in denial or being aware and living in reality. Well okay one can argue that reality is shaped by people's perception and experience, I meant acknowledging and accepting certain facts and feelings. How he suffers indeed.
