Self-Avoidance and Inner Escape
Understand why you avoid your inner world and how it intensifies suffering.
The Subtle Exit You Take Inside
There is a subtle exit
you take
inside.
No doors
slam.
No alarms
sound.
Attention simply
steps down
a level.
This internal movement
reduces intensity
without erasing
presence.
You are still here,
just not
at the edge.
Let this descent
be seen
as adjustment,
not disappearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m physically in the meeting, but my mind just checked out. What happened?
You took a "Subtle Exit Inside." In high-density social or cognitive environments, the mind "steps back" to maintain Balance. In the Meaning Density Model™, this is an "Internal Boundary" being drawn when the external input becomes too "thick" to process. You haven't "failed" to pay attention; your Integrator has simply gone into "Low-Power Mode" to protect your architecture from saturation.
Is it bad to "internally exit" during important moments?
It’s a signal of "Input Saturation." Instead of fighting it—which adds more stress—acknowledge the exit. "I am currently at capacity." This "Technical Honesty" reduces the Identity strain. DojoWell teaches that by allowing yourself a brief internal exit, you often regain the capacity to "re-enter" more effectively 5 minutes later, rather than forcing a "hollow" presence that leads to deep exhaustion.
