ive been told all my life that my logical thinking goes hand in hand with intelligence and that its “better” than emotional thinking for some reason, but now it feels like only my most mentally destructive thoughts come from logical thinking

Yeah, the danger with being a “logical” person is that you have emotions running underneath and you retroactively convince yourself that your intuition is valid by using the guise of logic. In other words, “I’m a logical person, so anything I think or feel must also be logical, and true.”
