Hey Shannon, I value your experience and knowledge on topics related to the unconscious and I was wondering if you could help me understand something that happened to me earlier today.
I was texting a woman who I was supposed to date today, except she got called into work. I wanted to hangout before she had to go in and she told me she was at the DMV.
I felt that she may be lying to me because she didn't really want to date me, and the conscious trying to rationalize that it didn't matter or who cares? at the same time.
I stopped feeling hurt all at once, but then I spent a 45 minute period looking for products on conversation and improving conversations, but I didn't feel sad or hurt by that particular event at all. The feeling went completely unconscious and then I just started acting out consciously while being unable to acknowledge it.
A few things happened during that period of time that "woke me up" from that trance state enough times to where I could understand and see that the originating feelings were what was driving this behavior.
What is this called and how do I get less of this? It's incredibly hard to gain an awareness of this happening and I was only fortunate today to get such an awakening.
