Because we don't dissociate like we used to.

Our inner world was a refuge to us. We know too much about the realities of life--and of *our* life--to be able to escape to our inner world as we did before.

The only way we could escape to the inside is by ignoring the outside. And to ignore the outside is to ignore signals that tell us what we need to do to stay safe. If we want to stay safe, we have to stay on the outside and be aware of it at all times.

Charity and others

PS: It's ironic. The inside used to be a place of safety. Now, remaining on the outside at all times is the only way to stay safe.
