Your Type
You show zero reaction to criticism in the moment, but chew on every word alone in the dead of night. This trait of 'immediate suppression and delayed deep digestion' actually masks your deep fear of 'breaking down on the spot and failing to respond perfectly'. You feel your reaction time is too slow, afraid of saying the wrong thing immediately, so you use 'freeze response' to buy time to process emotions. But constantly leaving the digestion process to yourself puts immense mental strain on you, easily trapping you in a vortex of rumination. Try admitting in the moment, 'This is a lot of info, I need some time to digest'; when you learn to press a legal pause button for your emotions, you won't always have to cry alone at night.
