It's okay to express your emotions, just don't let them take over you.

I have felt the urge to supress my emotions sometimes. But I really can't. When I'm sad, I cry. When I'm mad, I scream at whoever I'm mad at.

However, when an emotion is too intense, it's better to just step away from others for a while and let it pass, so you can reorder your thoughts and analize things properly (cuz you know, one always has the worst ideas when they're feeling too much hatred or anger or sadness)

But yes, you have the right to feel what you feel and to show how you feel, and you've also the right not to care about what others think.

dude, my emotions are so wack and they're not. can't always discern how i'm feeling.
"so, how are ya doing?" "uhhh...*barely audible* fine." sometimes i want to run around and scream and gnaw on door knobs. other times i feel nothing and something.


I usually don't know how to answer the question. I like the variation that most people ask me: "Are you alright?", "What's wrong?" when nothing is wrong (at least I feel nothing is bad).

anger and dispair are like the only two i ever feel anymore...

Seems that way too. But I enjoy some wacky humor too.

Also, there are so many feelings that I am unable to express, that it frustrates me when I want to explain how I am feeling to others. Sometimes I even need to look up what I am feeling on wikipedia or the dictionary.
"How have you been?"
"Some kind of indignation"

Also, when I get home from school, my mom doesn't understand that I need to recover from all of the socializing at school. When she talks to me, I start getting angry because I just want to be alone.

ive done this for a few years and i have come to the conclusion that it is a waste of time, first of all emotions run way deeper then most people think, i mean all my cognitive patterns are controlled by emotions even if i dont see it there and then, and also by trying to control them you simply alienate them from your vocabulary and so they become more and more alien to you until you enter a state of total confusion where you do not understand your emotions at all.

at the moment my best way of telling my emotions are bodily signs, i mean if my body hurts ect in certain areas i suspect that i might feel sad, if i get a surge of energy ect i think this is happiness...

i think especially in my culture it is seen as "strong" to not show emotions and in my earlier years i was very emotional and this gave me allot of problems, and as a result i suppressed them more and more until i now dont "feel" them anymore. but i still feel them if you know what i mean...its very hard to explain..
