Running Away

Bulls and bullettes, in situations of emotional distress or situations beyond your control do you sometimes feel as if you are running away? Even if I cannot physically run away (ie. leave town), and I feel trapped, I notice myself going about my life in a huge hurry, almost like I'm trying to leave it all behind in the rearview mirror. Sometimes I just go completely numb, a sort of mental safety valve to protect my sanity, so I that I can function in the necessary life aspects such as work. It is also during these times that I can't get home fast enough as my home is my santuary.

I want to respond to this luv,but I'm kind of complicated in this regard...so I'm trying to sort it out in to words,and I'll get back to you. 🙂

i do feel that way sometimes like i want to escape. or i avoid the situation or person till iv worked out in my head what to do next. I think its just away of dealing with things.. I always face up to the situation in the end.

also about wanting to be safe at home..i understand that too its almost like i dont want the outside world(people who know me) to see im in pain.. then once iv gathered my thoughts im cool again.

Yeah, I notice Bulls and their avoidance to issues .....


cowardice?

fear of losing?

emotionally confused?


There's a reason for it ... maybe you do this when you know you are wrong and you cannot handle having egg on your face?

No, it's really not any of those things P.

As you know, we bulls are slow thinkers. We have to take the time to mull things over in our heads. Depending on how large or small the issue is, sometimes the debate in our heads is over quickly or we may take weeks to come to terms with it. Rest assured though, we have tried to look at all angles logically.

As far as being wrong? I'm not sure about the other bulls here, but I can admit when I'm wrong. Especially, if I can learn something from it.

OH.MY.GOD! A Pisces has the nerve to troll these boards talking about "Cowardice". If there ever was a cowardice of the Zodiac, then Cancer & Pisces own that throne. The hypocrisy, self-hypnosis, and the self-lies, never ceases to amaze me, Wow! P-"Angel"........ You are a card! HaHaHaHa!!!

Pisces' look to the Bull for stability, and yet she comes on here like she has the right to pontificate a goddamn thing. Wow! WEAK! Only recites from the plethora of "Self help" books that are mixed in with her multiple diaries formatted in the Dewey Decimal system. Hmph!!!! Pfffft!!!! 😄

What's amazing Felicia is that she doesn't recognize "Self". Unbelievable! How does she not know that she's projecting, huh? PROJECTION! I'd take a Bull over a Plecostomus any day. Pisces, emotional Vamps! I'm here to tell you Bulls to stay the hell away from fish. They just want you for your meat. All of them! Notice how your energy levels drop down when a fish is around you. Pay attention.

Depends on the situ. Some things I shoulder my way through and meet head on. Face to the wind and legs splayed out like "Come at me you bastard, and I'll show you how much I can take and keep on slamming back!"
Other things like deep emotional wounding takes time, and so much of it. You are in a bit of a dream like state, everything is misty, out of reach while you try to take in the sheer enormity of matters. And then comes the burn, like nitrous in your tank. Can feel it simmering along every nerve ending and pumping out every pore. That's when you hear the elastic snap of those big girl panties against that waist and decide whatever it is is just a MOMENT of something, and you grab it by the balls and listen to it cry uncle. Lather, rinse, repeat. Life just keeps trying to knock that dick in the dirt and you have to keep coming back up swinging and going hellbent for leather.
Home is ALWAYS haven, retreat, the grotto paradise where you close the door and the world ceases to matter. That is where you reign in comfort and harmony for the most part. The tangible you can touch, the scents you like to breath in, the music you favor most and all the lovely things to let your eyes feast upon. "HOME", is there a more beautiful word to a Bull other than "MINE"? Nope. 🙂

@Felicia

I'm feelin you.

In that case let's go kick some ass. You down?

They had their chance with God. Now, the divine has unleashed us. Lets go!

.. in situations of emotional distress or situations beyond your control do you sometimes feel as if you are running away?

Sometimes I just go completely numb ..

There's a reason, and what you said below isn't answering it.

Bulls do avoid things .... and I haven't experienced that it's because they need time to sort something out .. they just bypass it completely, like it isn't there.

Maybe it's because you're lost and don't know what to turn? Because you did mention at these times you want the safety of home.

Another thing you need to consider ... running away isn't necessarily bad enough of a thing to even worry about ..... sometimes.


But, if this avoidance is because of you wanting to BullHeaded .. then yeah, that's a problem because obviously someone is tyring to tell you sometime, otherwise, what point is there to be bullheaded.

I cant say run away.

But rather, move to a better location for conducting practical and efficient solutions.

Also, pressuring a bull with the same problem over and over again, and force them think quickly, will only lead to more troubles, plus the horns.

I see ... so, it isn't accurate to say "slow thinking" then is it?

To intentionally deliberate in the mental processing to come to the right solution isn't thinking slow .... it's thinking purposefully.

If I avoid any issue, it's usually not for long. I just need time as you said to deliberate how I'm going to tackle the issue, but eventually I do tackle the issue. My motto is if you don't take care of it, no one else will.

And no, I'm not lost when I said that at times I couldn't get home fast enough. Read VB's post. Home is my recharging station. It allows me the time away from all the "noise", so that I can think and deliberate. Once, my mind has calmed I can think rationally and know exactly how to proceed.

Right on! 🙂
