What happens when you suppress your emotions , your feelings?

@Silemhaff I don't Think anything is wrong if a man express his emotions

@Lubnaa
It's not wrong, but we men usually express emotions of love or of leadership.. I very rarely say it when I feel down or sick. Expectations are so high, haha

@DeWayfarer Buddhists has some of the best ideas

@Lubnaa as I said. "This is highly dependent on the personality of the person".

Everyone is different and no one thing works for everyone.

@DeWayfarer Understood sir , Different things work for different people 😊

@MarbleMarvel Sharing emotions never gets anyone hated........other than in their own minds. unless of course you do it in a hateful way. People usually care and listen............or just walk off when someone shares emotions.....but I have never known anyone who would "hate" you for sharing them.

@MaBalzEsHari you just won't go away will you? Time to block.

@Sazzio Yes ,😣

@Magenta Hmm makes sense

@Reject Always in a denial mood

@Lubnaa it's not denial as you'd notice, your body takes matters in hand and does it automatically. You'll have moods so terrible you'd wish to feel all those emotions you suppressed instead.

@Nanori I know I am in such state, I repressed so much that now I can't express my emotions and feelings easily as I used to , I am so depressed 🫥

@Matt85 I understood what they were trying to say in that movie, But I am scared now it was a horror movie and its midnight here so 😨

@Matt85 I easily get scared

@GuyWithOpinions Yes thats right

@ABCDEF7 I get these thoughts too, but to really work on them is very hard.

@Lubnaa Some negative emotions that you would like to control are Anger, Sadness, Fear, Guilt & Shame, Loneliness, Jealousy, Overwhelm.

To address these negative emotions at their root rather than suppressing them, you can consider the following strategies:

1. Identify and Acknowledge Your Emotions
Recognizing what you are feeling is the first step. Take time to sit with your emotions, understand their origins, and identify triggers. This awareness can help you process feelings more effectively and prevent them from overwhelming you.

2. Reframe Your Thoughts
Challenge unhelpful thought patterns by reframing them into more constructive perspectives. For example, instead of thinking, "I always fail," try, "I can learn from this experience and improve." This shift can help reduce the intensity of negative emotions.

3. Practice Mindfulness and Self-Care
Engage in mindfulness practices like meditation or yoga to enhance your emotional awareness and regulation. These activities promote a calm state of mind and allow you to observe your feelings without judgment. Additionally, prioritize self-care activities that nurture your emotional well-being.

4. Express Your Emotions
Find healthy ways to express your feelings. This could involve talking to a trusted friend, writing in a journal, or engaging in creative outlets like art or music. Sharing your emotions can provide relief and help you gain new insights into your feelings.

5. Engage in Physical Activity
Exercise is a powerful tool for managing negative emotions. Physical activity releases endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress levels. Even simple activities like walking or stretching can be beneficial.

6. Build Positive Relationships
Surround yourself with supportive people who encourage positive emotional expression. Avoid toxic relationships that drain your energy or exacerbate negative feelings. Building a network of understanding friends can provide comfort during difficult times.

7. Set Boundaries
Learn to set boundaries with people or situations that trigger negative emotions. This may involve distancing yourself from toxic individuals or situations that you cannot control, allowing you to focus on your emotional health.

@solitaire Same here It has made my life miserable 😣

@HumanEarth

So ??????

They don't need know. If the doctor came out to middle of the corn field with no cellphone or computer or recording devices. And if it was just me and them with no spying

Then maybe I might talk

@HumanEarth

as always up to you
but your paranoia suggests that you NEED a therapist
or maybe just chat with somebody from here outside of here
but your choice

@JestAJester Yes we slowly start to lose our selves

@Lubnaa not sure how to stop it either

@metaldog Yes illnesses are connected with emotions

@Lubnaa absolutely!!

@Berti33 thats the best way to fall asleep if you cant sleep.....such a good way to relax

@wudifu.. Sometimes fails to fall into sleep

@Berti33 @wudifu But I think masturbation is a short term relief but in long term you can't use it as solution

@therighttothink50 Indeed, good point! Many things should not nor need to be expressed.

@Pressure good fr you

@Wolffy Hmmm very bad way to express

@SStarfish better out then in ;)

Truth

@greennature same

@virginpeter What does sex have to do with it

@Lubnaa thats just the way i feel

@rachelsj... even in your younger age..!!😇

@Berti33 yes

@Thevy29 Who is he

@Lubnaa One of the most famous television characters ever. Mr Spock.

@Lubnaa the character in the series is famously known for suppression of his emotions.

Simply through logical means. Several episodes shows what happens when he had no logic to back him up. Same with his father.
