Quotes from Cevvela
“İfadesiz bir yüz, içlerinde bir şeyleri öldürür.”
“Duygusal olarak olgunlaşmamış anne babalar, gerçek duygulardan korkarlar ve duygusal bağ kurmaktan uzak dururlar. Onlar, gerçekle mücadele etmek yerine ona direnen savunma mekanizmaları kullanırlar. Kendileriyle ilgili düşünmeyi hoş karşılamazlar bu nedenle, hatalarını nadiren kabul eder ve özür dilerler. Olgunlaşmamış olmaları onları tutarsız ve duygusal olarak güvensiz kılar.”
“İnsanlarla aranıza sınır koymak bencillik değildir.”
“Diğer insanlara ne düşündüğünüzü elinizden geldiğince sakin ve yargılamadan söyleyin, aynı zamanda sonuçları kontrol etmeye çalışmayın.”
“Başkaları tarafından görülmemenin verdiği yalnızlık duygusu, fiziksel yaralanma kadar temel bir acıdır ve bu acı içeridedir, dışarıdan görülmez.”
