No, I’m very slow to reacting in fact I’ve schooled myself not to react but to respond. Makes life so much easier. I started training myself early. In 7th grade. A bully loved to pick on me and a few others. I tamped down my reaction s and thought to myself what would Spock do, and by not responding to her she left me alone. If someone disappointed me I just think life got in their way. They’ll contact me when they are able to. I don’t take things personally and remind myself I’m not the center of anyone else’s universe.
