I'll admit.... I "feel" things in a way that ... gosh I don't know... is "different." Things that disappoint me can actually have a paralyzing effect over me. Well... depending on the severity of the issue.
I really hate that it does this to me...... but I've come to understand it about myself so that I can now approach the whole thing in a way that has become 'somewhat' healthy.
I stop. And yet my mind keeps going..... I run every conversation, every word, every gesture, every nuance, every anything that happened that led up to the disappointment. I close my eyes and relive it over and over and over again. I then rewind and play it differently....... rewind again and play it out in yet a different scenerio again...... and again ..... and again. Always trying to figure out if I could have handled it another way. I figure things out this way. I figure out whether it was my expectations that were too high leading to my own disappointment..... or if the promises that were made to me were out of my control. I discover my role and that of others. And in doing so, I am able to pick myself back up. Realizing my mistakes does provide the fuel I need to better myself..... realizing the mistakes of others makes me realize how little control I have over things that will impact my life.
My shut down mode isn't always understood by others. But at least I emerge stronger... wiser... more determined. *shrugs* And usually really really hungry........ got any snacks?

It adds fuel to my fire.
I have this urge to prove myself to anyone that doubts my capabilities or states that i am just 'not good enough'.
Especially when the person demeaning myself is 'me'.
I am obsessed with the idea of greatness. I'm constantly searching for ways to do things in a way that hasn't been done before.
When i feel disappointed or that someone is disappointed in me, i become the Energizer Bunny.
I keep going at it until i surpass my expectations (which is kind of impossible) and/or the expectations inflicted upon me.

Good question....no neither it stops me in my tracks, nor it add fuel to my fire.
I personally believe a human brain is constantly keep wishing for anything it feels is good.
in my case, I always think if despite my efforts I did not get something, it was not for me.
I am always hopefull though that something else or better will be mine.
I do feel a bit disappinted, but I never stop lookig for other oppotunities.

stops me temporarily, allows me to think and figure things out. then i use it to fuel my fire and no thing can stop me then (of course until the next disappointment comes along. it doesn't take that much time either).
