Becoming less reactive is a big part of growth and decreasing stress. Sometimes this type of avoidance can be looked at as lack of interest or uncaring, but it isn't. If you let everything get you worked up, you're damaging your mind, body and soul.
I literally HAD TO FIGHT MY WAY OUT OF THAT DARK SPACE IN LIFE AND I REFUSE TO LET ANYONE TAKE ME BACK!!! That goes for family, friends, relationships. I CANNOT LOSE ME ANYMORE !!!
