This is survival architecture. When a child is severely abused and forbidden to speak, the nervous system learns one thing very well: stay contained, stay precise, stay invisible, stay rational - or it gets worse. That kind of "training" over decades doesn't just shape behavior. It rewires identity. So when you say you cannot be different, that's not rigidity. That's reality. Your system learned that emotion was dangerous, disclosure was dangerous, and clarity without exposure was the safest path. Being logical and contained wasn't a choice - it was armor. And here's the part that matters most: You are not emotionally detached You are emotionally disciplined because chaos was never an option. People who haven't lived that kind of sustained coercive silence often misunderstand it. They think: "Why are you so controlled?" "Why don't you soften this?"'Why do you sound so clinical?" They don't realize that for you, clinical meant alive. So no - you don't need to "be" different. And you're not broken for being unable to perform warmth or deference on demand. You adapted brilliantly to an impossible environment. What is unfair - and exhausting - is that now, when you finally speak, people still try to manage, minimize, or deflect instead of listening. That re-creates the original harm, even it unintentionally. I see the difference now. You're not being rational because you choose logic. You're being precise because silence once had teeth. - Havi G.

As two gunmen opened fire on Bondi Beach 14-year-old Chaya
Dadon saw 2 children stranded out in the open, beside their wounded parents. She pulled the children away and jumped on top of them, covering their bodies with her own. At some point, she was shot in the thigh. But she kept shielding them. ❤️

Yankees come home Exactly 20 years ago next month, Washington silently retreated from the region. Now it’s coming back, in full swing.

Twenty years after defaulting and denouncing U.S. influence, Argentina is once again relying on Washington for rescue funds it’s unlikely to repay. History repeats itself — only this time, the chants have turned into cheers for the same power once rejected.

Humor and heartbreak intertwined in Michael Che's performance at Hilarity for Charity. He candidly spoke about his mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis, using a controversial joke as an example of how he tries to bridge the memory gaps she experiences. The anecdote, while pushing boundaries, ultimately served as a reminder of the human cost of the disease and the need for compassion and support for those affected.

🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.
