I'm at a café having a chat with the barista, she's of Zoomer age and she's over-sharing about a recent breakup.

I've gotta admit the psychoanalytic dimensionality to her story was absolutely wild to me. This "attachment style" and that "trauma response".

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she felt she could talk to me; it was clearly a hard time. But the dissection of, what is simply, a broken heart is much more sad. It's also cope and not honest.
