False sense of comfort
Sometimes we cultivate a shell within ourselves that is supposed to protect us from threats, to be our armor against fears. But the final form of this protection sometimes gets out of control, creating a false sense of security on the one hand, and making us more vulnerable to external oppression on the other.
This shell, while initially a tool for resilience, can become so rigid that it isolates us from genuine connections and experiences. Over time, it not only distorts how we perceive the world but also how the world perceives us, trapping us in a cycle of self-imposed limitations disguised as safety.
