**Emotional paralysis** is a type of “intellectual disability,” a feeling or reaction of a painful inability to feel “emotional satisfaction and to manage one’s emotional life really well.” Accepting new things is a process that involves being open to emotions. We must be able to acknowledge our feelings, even if they are unpleasant or irrational. The ability to accept a position that is contrary to our desires or ideas is a sign of growing up or a mature personality. Finally, embracing new things will allow you to move forward in life to reach your full potential.
