6 Signs You're an Emotional Brick

Any sort of great loss or deep experience is just an open invitation for you to make things uncomfortable.

6 Signs You're an Emotional Brick
Thought Catalog

1. You get incredibly uncomfortable when people cry in front of you.

You usually give them a wildly awkward pat on the top of the head and tell them to suck it up. If that doesn't work, you call in reinforcements.

2. You express your emotions in the most inappropriate of ways.

If you're sad you may just yell at everyone for a couple of days rather than saying how you feel. That would just make things too easy.

3. People touching you is literally your worst nightmare.

People who think it's socially acceptable to just go up to someone and hug them irk you to your core. I will accept your greetings and salutations in any form of hand shake or high five, thank you.

4. Flirting with the opposite sex is like being stabbed in the eyes with a fork.

Social interactions in which you are required to be charming and friendly sound like your worst nightmare. Cute giggles and witty remarks have never really been your strong suit anyway.

5. Everyone comes to you in their time of need because they know you're a brick wall.

You give the best advice because you will never get emotionally attached. Crisis is what you live for because it means you can finally put your pragmatic judgement to some good use.

6. You say inappropriate things at the most inappropriate of times.

Any sort of great loss or deep experience is just an open invitation for you to make things uncomfortable so it's best that we just not go there in the first place.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
