Friendly reminder that allowing yourself to not get attached to an emotion is as important as allowing yourself to feel through it.

Friendly reminder that allowing yourself to not get attached to an emotion is as important as allowing yourself to feel through it. I just had an encounter with the new neighbor that moved in on the floor below me. It was brief, they obviously wanted to get to know me, and I came off jaded and uninterested. I stopped from engaging in fear of making myself look like a fool. So I kept it brief only saying a few words acting as though I needed to be somewhere. I really wanted to make small talk. I wasn’t fair to myself and I sure as he’ll wasn’t fair to the neighbor. This encounter happened a few hours ago and I’m still obsessing over it. I’m just sorta of posting to remind others, but mostly myself, to allow myself to let go.
