Yes

Yes, that does make sense.  Thank you.  I would like to turn my ship (if I had one) to head towards a secluded tropical Island, or Bora Bora would also be nice. 

I definitely shut down and avoidance and denial are my two best things, along with being passive aggressive.  I'm really good at all of those things, unfortunately that's not such a positive thing, but it is what it is.

I guess I won't really know how I'll handle any of the thing that crosses my path in the future, I just have to hope I do it well.
