As someone who values logic above many other things, it's often difficult for me to conceptualize things that don't follow a certain set of rules. As I'm certain you can gather from the rest of these posts, I have ironically never taken a formal logic class or studied it rigorously, so while I may value logic highly, I don't actually have a solid 100% grasp on its workings. Just a thing to keep in mind when reading these muses.
And while I've clarified that emotions and whatnot are simply other forms of logic, it's times like this where I really just have to stand back and marvel at how fricking weird that kind of logic is.
For instance, I struggle with talking to people, especially those I know have access to my formative experiences, those people being immediate family members and close friends (especially a struggle with the former), and friendships that have the capacity to become a relationship. The struggle of articulation, in this case, deals with discussing myself personally. I am more than willing to discuss others Insides or various light topics, I simply have a difficult time opening up to my past experiences.
What's also interesting is that as I hear more and learn more from my friend, I too feel that I can open up to him as well, often because our formative years were similar and affected us in similar fashions; his arguably worse than mine I would say.
Anyway, this leads back to the fact that I'm really just inexperienced with dealing with my emotions, especially those in a romantic interest. I suppose I just need to learn to take punches effectively and continue with how I do in other aspects; the better I can take hits, be them in emotions/relationships/friendships, work, school, or otherwise, the better off I will be. Getting hit is never easy, but it can certainly be made easier with practice.
