She feels the pain of the world, can’t or won’t put up the filters some do to keep it at bay. Maybe professional actors hold these emotions closer to the surface for access. Maybe my not letting myself feel is a well-developed act itself.

Not an act so much as an appropriate defense mechanism. Being emotionally raw all the time is exhausting. Not to mention a little neurotic.
This is a GREAT post. Leaves me lots to think about. Thanks.
SY, J: Of course, we all have to keep the pain away somehow or we would all be walking psychotics. Such a fine line sometimes between feeling and unfeeling. But functional is necessary, to be sure!
