as a 17 year old on and off switch person, i have learned that as much as no emotions can help, it can cause just as much problems as it solves. it's kind of a double edged sword. if you have your feelings off for too long you eventually lose the person you are when you have your feelings on. in other words if you missuse this ability you will eventually become the person with no feelings. not to mention you can also hurt the people who cares about you, and eventually that can leave you all alone. i guess it's kind of a evil circle as well. the more you use it the more you want to use it. im not saying it can't be used in a positive way, it can help you through some of the toughest times in life, as some kind of defense mechanism to not let you feel the lowest of the lowest feelings, as long as you know how to use it of course. actually as im writing this i have my "switch" off, just building up the courage to turn it on again. it's a real comfort to know that whenever i need it, i can use it.well that's about all my thoughts on this theme. thank you for reading :)"
