Most of what upsets us isn't a real threat, just something we think might be. Having fewer emotional buttons to push doesn't mean you care less. It means you're better at telling the difference between what actually matters and what doesn't.
A lot of us have these triggers that just, they're not really necessary to be walking around with. I don't want someone to push my buttons, so I'm just going to have less buttons to push. Having less buttons doesn't mean that you are more apathetic. Right. It doesn't mean that you don't have strong emotional attachments to things. Right. It's a balance between understanding that which is, again, on that extreme side of the spectrum, that which matters most to you, and the ability to perceive an accurate sense of something harming you. Right. Most of the time, we're not actually being harmed or threatened, yet we're just responding as if we are.
