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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
