You don't kick the vampire out right away; you evaluate first: 'Was that look in his eyes really intent to bite? Am I being too sensitive?' This tendency to "over-rationalize your feelings" is a perfectionist mechanism you use to defend against "making mistakes." You fear that a wrong decision made in a flash of emotion will cost you control, so you use endless analysis to suppress your true inner alarm. But pain is meant to be experienced, not audited. Next time you feel danger, allow yourself to just be angry. Learn to trust your intuition and don't let logic hold you hostage.
