    IANAP but it sounds like a coping mechanism for executive dysfunction

    Ha ha, executive dysfunction, I forgot about that one a long long time ago.

    If you've been trained to ignore your emotions (e.g. by gaslighting parental figures), then this is retraining towards a more healthy endpoint.

    Yeah you are right, but at some point we all have to reckon with how we feel. Your emotions live with you and you can't keep that distance forever. It should give one pause to think if they are incapable of valuing their own emotional state at the same level as they do someone else's.
