That's a basic survival instinct. You are maintaining a way out, an escape route.
Mental pain hurts a lot more than anything you can suffer physically, partly because you will eventually pass out.
So no, not stupid. There are things that I do myself to keep an "exit" handy. Things that allow my mind to leave my past behind. They are very important.
