I think it’s because we don’t truly understand that we have emotional limitations. Just like our accounts can get overdrawn, so can our emotions. Just like spending that gets out of control can bankrupt a person’s finances, expending too much emotionally can bankrupt a person’s well-being. We think we can just keep taking it. Overlooking it. Navigating around it. Making excuses for it. Reframing it. Numbing out so we don’t have to deal with it. Praying about it. Fussing about it. Crying about it. Ignoring it. Blaming it. Shaming it. And dropping a million hints about it.
