Ignorance Is Bliss

Speaking from an abundance of personal experience, compartmentalization can be such a useful (and unhealthy) tool. This may not be the case for everyone who separates/isolates their feelings and thoughts, but I forged and honed the tool by repeatedly undergoing emotional trauma and heartbreak. So if you aren't acquainted with the reality of compartmentalization, then maybe that's a good thing. You might have been spared from extreme distress and preserved some of your innate innocence.
