    Sounds great for the kid that just lost their mother and now has an absent father escaping through work. Definitely a healthy way to process emotions that won’t risk lasting damage. /s

    I may be downvoted for this but she is not wrong in the general terms.

    There are multiple people for whom the work is their main opportunity for social interaction. Also being busy sometimes helps as it doesn’t leave enough time to think about issues.

      That’s not healthy, though. That’s repression, which is bad for you. I know it’s bad for you, as I have not had more than six emotions in the past 20 years.

        It’s also not healthy to sit and wallow in your misery. Having a purpose can be a good thing, but the dose makes the poison.
