Lol no it’s a natural emotion. It doesn’t make you weak to feel. People are often encouraged not to express/feel certain emotions like anger or sadness, but it’s a normal human reaction and is what makes us human. How you react and express those emotions I think is more what determines certain things like strong or weak.

@Stark But dwelling on negative emotions is not good for your health. If it were up to me I wouldn't entertain negative thoughts. I always feel like a waste of flesh and bones when I do 😅

@Stark well said. Getting angry is not a weakness. Throwing a punch or picking up a weapon in anger is a weakness. Strength is controlling how you express the anger. Weakness is in letting the anger control you. Foolishness is trying to not feel it at all.

@karysma You shouldn’t dwell on it but I think it’s okay for you to feel and process sadness or anger when you’re upset. I think it’s more healthy than suppressing it and a more practical way of living. But I also understand what you’re saying about dwelling on it and not entertaining it. I don’t think it should take over but I think it’s okay to process it and deal with it in healthy ways.

@Stark I do my best not to get angry at anybody and I love that about myself. I kinda act and talk crazy when I'm angry. I'm better off not flirting with that feeling to be honest.
