If you had to choose between having to feel everything or nothing at all, what would you choose and why?

Having and not having emotions can be very tricky, they take a hold of your life: the way you think, act and react. What's the pro and cons of the two if it was either the one or the other?#

Having Feelings

Pros- having emotions in whatever state is what makes you the person you are, they help to counteract your brain into making decisions and get through life they enable you to react to every situation but also help you learn and understand the reason why you reacted to that given feeling I think it’s important to have feelings and the fact that you can choose between how the brain thinks and how the emotions react to make that final decision that makes you content with your choice. It also helps to understand other people’s feelings too so you can reciprocate theirs and know what there going through which is important for support and helping others.

Cons- if you didn’t have feelings I guess you would be cold, heartless and basically always act on instinct straight away as the saying goes, use your brain first before you speak, I suspect every decision you make without feelings depending on the situation would work 50/50 it would hurt but also it would benefit showing others your strengths but also your weaknesses too, not to mention the things you would say and do that would have positive and negative impact on others hell you may even impact their personal lives based on your actions of not having feelings.

In short as a whole I couldn’t live with one without the other my feelings help to fine tune the person I am but at the same time my brain helps me to understand the choices I make in life and the reasons why, sometimes when we interact with others your emotions can overrule your thinking but coming to a self compromise can help in every given situation so that in the end you and others can be content with the decisions.

That’s my take on it

@RubySoo that sounds exhausting but also beautiful in some ways.. Like a blessing with some downsides. Or a nightmare with light shining through the blindfolds. Could the one ever exist without the other?

@DeLorean thats exactly how it is. X

I swing between the two too often.

I'd like to not feel anything when I am surrounded by people who will abuse my feelings.

@Miram that's really relatable. Is not feeling a shield? And the consequence of feeling too much? Is it all good, which one is to prefer?
Sorry for asking again, I just want to understand. 😊

@DeLorean It can be the consequence of feeling too much, then narrowing down the window of pain to protect oneself which leads to narrowing down everything else.
Life taught me to handle my feelings. They havent killed me yet. Ill keep em

Nothing at all, easier to think logically

@Soxs45 I see your what you mean and I agree in some parts of it and I also wonder about the consequences... How would it interfere with your surroundings? The people around you?

Nothing at all. Life. It’s too painful.
DeLorean · 26-30, M
@Mindful I feel you. Life is painful. Loving someone is hurtful but loving can sometimes mend your soul, just for a little while and it's the only thing that makes us feel alive. Life is unfair, too hard, and painful as h*ll. Unfair, effed up and cruel in so many ways. So I'm still not sure whether to feel or try not to... But this isn't about me, it's about you, how do you deal with your pain? You don't have to answer if I'm out of line here.

I deal with pain by reaching out when I can. How can a 22 year old sound so loving and wise. Naturally I have felt all you have said.@DeLorean
