1820 || premature compassion is avoidance

Make Your Damn Bed · Aug 10, 2026 · 11m

are you avoiding danger or discomfort?

To figure this out you can:

name the threat

identify your feelings

learn to identify true threats vs. discomfort

practice responding with a stretch rather than reacting with a snap.

rehearse new endings to similar stories

It may take some practice to build up your capacity for peace and safety.
