Tarot Cards: Two of Swords Qualities

Blocking emotions 
       denying true feelings
       stifling a natural response
       keeping another at arm's length
       hiding distress
       turning a deaf ear
       being defensive
       maintaining your cool 

Avoiding the truth 
       refusing to look at facts
       pretending everything's fine
       ignoring the warning signs
       closing your eyes to what's going on
       avoiding an unpleasantness
       choosing not to know 

Being at a stalemate 
       feeling afraid to act
       reaching an impasse
       staying stuck
       refusing to decide
       being unwilling to rock the boat
       staying on the fence
