I'm not a very outwardly emotional person, which sometimes causes tension in my social life. I've been trying recently to regard my emotions more as a more primitive version of thinking, rather than some other kind-of-thing. They're automatic thoughts coming from my brain that manifest as "feeling" something rather than something I can articulate into facts.
It's been somewhat helpful in trying to accept my emotions rather than hide or obscure them.
- arvinsim 7y agoI dislike the current culture that we have that demonizes emotions. The stance that being emotionless is superior to having emotions. Emotions, like everything else, can either both drag people down....or be used to amplify their strengths. The problem is that society seems to only consider the former and disregard the latter.
