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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
