Pretending not to care

The problem was that we got our hopes up and were actually quite hurt by the other person not coming through for us.

But we don’t want to be a diva.

We want to be the cool and resilient type that doesn’t get bothered by trivial hurts.

But it’s hard because the heart or the gut or whatever’s talking to us is feeling pain and we have to somehow squash it and feign indifference.

Now I’m no expert but I’d say the more this happens the more confusing our emotions get as we improve overruling our feelings.
