I’m Not Cold. I’m Guarded.

Written By Trinity Barnette

People think I’m cold, but really—I’m just guarded. I’ve learned that emotional detachment feels safer than vulnerability, and trust feels like surrender. In this post, I unpack what it really means to be a sensitive person who’s built walls out of logic, control, and fear. Because I’m not emotionless. I’m terrified of what might happen if I let it all in.
