Apropos of nothing in particular...

...rumination from an earlier discussion.

Unhealthy or dysfunctional emotional compartmentalization is not the result of the recognition that there are different situations, contexts and meanings that require different approaches or uses of language. Or the recognition that other people frequently alter their behavior in accordance with them.

It is the result of personally attempting to manipulate those contexts and situations in such a way that you are attempting to maintain a [false] demarcation between them... usually due to your own insecurity, fear or arrogance. [Hi Jr!]
