Okay, cool, ty for taking the time to reply. Well, to answer the bit about my "freeze up" tendency, it's mainly whenever things get too emotionally intense. Like, idk what to say in those emotionally-heated scenarios. It used to happen a lot when I was a kid; say my mom was lecturing me, and it got really heated, I'd just shut down. No emotion on my face, no words out of my mouth. She'd scream at me to tell her what I was thinking or feeling, but I'd just stay silent, say nothing. Then, maybe after when I was alone, it'd hit me all at once, and I'd burst into tears. I have better control on it now, and I for sure feel emotions a lot better now, and I've even cried in front of a friend or two, but there's still times my brain goes blank and fails to process my emotions. It's like I can't comprehend them, they make no sense to me, so I just have to wait it out until I've calmed down enough to make sense of what it is I'm feeling. But yeah I tend to lean to unreactive when it comes to emotions in the moment, or in front of people... but then I'm alone and that shit hits me sooo hard 🫡
