People are unfortunately saddled with the fact that in times of stress, their 'new' brain dims somewhat, and when it happens, the 'old' brain relies on 'fight or flight'. Then, a person is hard-pressed to use the rest of their brain processes, including what I refer to as 'dime-store' words lol. As an abstract thinker, I find myself in that state on a regular basis already, trying to corral my thoughts. It gets doubly bad when I find myself in an argument, which is why I try to bail from them whenever possible. Years back, long before I learned the exact reasons why, I knew I always wound up at a disadvantage.
I now have a boyfriend that wants to finish a fight to its conclusion. That means that I never have a chance to think while in the argument. I also don't get a moment to catch a 'mental' breath, collect my thoughts, etc. In other words, it's like I spend the entire argument walking barefoot through a field of glass, never being allowed to stop. Talk about pain.
