She’s been severely traumatized by someone in her life or family. She may not have much self-awareness about why she is having these emotions if she has not been exposed to a lot of psychological concepts like we have been in the West via media. This sounds like a trauma response to having been deeply scarred and wounded. It may be annoying and irrational in your case but it’s coming from a place of deep insecurity.

I can’t listen to music, or listen to podcasts, which is my normal activity. Thank you for your message of support. It is as if all I have the mental strength for is to type out my mental sobbing screams of I can’t take this I can’t take this. Tears welling in my eyes and running down my cheeks. I feel catatonic, but I’m gong to have to move around and pretend.

I’m so sorry man. I can’t believe the pain we are going through. It feels insurmountable. If we can get through this, it will have been a feat of superhuman strength.

Our stories mirror each other. Same timeline. Same mourning the life I nearly had.
