I very much agree with Dr. Mike (of NFgeeks) on NF "landmines"* in the "Love Maps" segment of his recent vid on relationships.

*landmines - basically memories you don't want to evoke.
NF land-mines: memories of heartbreak.
I'm usually very open about my feelings to people (the Fe), but I haven't spoken to anyone about my feelings on the aftermath of a failed relationship/heartbreak. I hope to open up to people who can relate, because the last thing I want is to have my painful experiences undermined/misunderstood. Usually I am able to talk about the reasoning behind failed relationships with people (even just friends I can trust), the cause and effect component, but rarely the emotional component. The most I'll ever extravert is a very loose utterance of pain or discomfort such as "Oh my life is miserable!"
Talking about an unhappy experience in terms of reason and logic is far more therapeutic than being all emotional about it. Sure, crying helps but it doesn't help to change any situation! Being rational really helps to put things into perspective, as to help me get my life back together A.S.A.P. Most of the time I know exactly what to do in order to turn things around, but at the end of the day, my feelings always seem to take the upper hand, as irrational as they are, and as assertive I was initially about my rationality.
The emotions surrounding heartbreak never truly fade away for good. They say that time heals all wounds, so maybe I simply haven't lived long enough to know for sure.
