They are uncomfortable with feelings in general and managing their own. Defensive individuals don\u2019t like to \u201cwork through\u201d emotional issues in the collaborative way adults are expected to. They can be highly impulsive and quick in their emotional reactions, without pausing to think things through in a balanced way. Finally, they tend to avoid too much emotional closeness with others.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[582,655,752,7331,733,707,7101,741,731,732,705,708,754,6355,704,3,617],"class_list":["post-7314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-art","tag-artist","tag-creative","tag-defensive","tag-depression","tag-ego","tag-ego-trap","tag-influencer","tag-mental-health","tag-mental-illness","tag-mind","tag-narcissism","tag-nft-artist","tag-offensive","tag-psychology","tag-quote-of-the-day","tag-quotes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
