Everyday Habits That Secretly Train You to Ignore Your Own Feelings

Are you living on autopilot, or have you just become an expert at silencing yourself? We often mistake "staying strong" for emotional intelligence, but the truth is usually more complex. From reflexively saying "I’m fine" to filling every spare second with a screen, these tiny habits act like noise-canceling headphones for your inner voice, drowning out the signals your body is trying to send you.

Ignoring your feelings isn’t a personality trait—it’s a survival mechanism that has overstayed its welcome. When you prioritize logic over intuition or stay busy to avoid a quiet room, you aren't just being "productive"; you are conditioning yourself to go numb. In this video, we expose the subtle daily routines that train you to disconnect from your needs and how to finally start listening again.
