I don't consider myself unhealthy or not normal. I just never learned how to cope with feelings. So I hate them and try to hide them and act like they don't matter. I also never learned how to reign them in, in the event that the Kraken was released
. We are
all learning. Just because T's know how to cope with feelings and we don't doesnt make them any better then we are. Example: I'm an excellent fisher-woman, but If T had to feed himself via fishing... Well he would starve or seek out someone to teach him... see what I mean.
