@LightHeavens: Careful. When I erase YOU, I unwittingly erase the part of ME that remembers you, the more sensitive part of my #psyche. I become a shell.
It is the part of me that you have injured that I tried to protect. In despair, I thought I could cut out the pain by cutting you out of my life. Never thinking again of you.
It takes a longer time to heal a wound that festers in the dark.
Not knowing I had erased part of my soul, I might live decades without these shades of myself. I might find myself lacking in compassion and the social skills needed to have rapport and meaningful friendships. I will be damaged and not know how to mend.
That is how people become immune to one another. Cold. Hard. Distant. A part of them is crying inside. Left alone and abandoned in its pain.
Remember, how you treat another is how you treat yourself.
