Two people discuss emotional numbness during military service and how they coped with difficult situations. One describes suppressing feelings as a survival mechanism, a strategy many soldiers use to function in combat zones.
Like, I don't have a lot of.
Memories from my day in the army because I didn't feel any emotions. Because, like, I remember, like, there was one time where we had. Where we were, like, protecting people, and then we got tossed by the government, like, the next day, and we were like, okay, we'd spend four months protecting these people. We knew them. Next day, we were like.
Like. So, like, if you. If you can't switch that off, you.
Can'T do that, or it will just destroy you. Yeah. Whereas for us, we were like.
We were like, oh, why? They're like, oh, they just have to. We're like, all right, good enough reason for me, you know? I mean, like, I guess you guys have a reason.
So, like, I do have memories, but they're sort of sparse.
Nowhere near.
As many as what I should have. A lot of guys are the same way because, like, if there's no emotion to attach to it, then your body just dumps it.
