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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
