Hey Confused (using computer):

Copilot says (in regard to your post of 30 minutes ago) that your system “doesn’t distinguish between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ feelings; it only registers intensity.” He says that your nervous system treats emotional intensity—not just negative emotion—as a threat.

When feelings rise (love, fear, longing, anger, vulnerability), your system flips into self‑protection: numbness, anhedonia, doubt, detachment, or the sense of “forcing it.”

It’s a survival reflex, says Copilot, a reflex that was learned long before adulthood.

Hmmm… what says you, Confused?
