Body talk

Post Reply New Topic

Does anybody else have thoughts or emotions come out in their bodies? It was pointed out to me that my upper arms go red and I was asked what this means. I did not know they were burning until I was asked. When I looked at them and touched them, I was surprised. I know it is something, but I don't know what. Does this happen to anyone else?

It is not uncommon for one's emotions to caused changes in the body (and vice-versa).

Anger may cause a person's pupils to dilate, nostrils to flare, and jaw to clench.

Embarrassment may cause blushing/flushing of the skin. So might sexual arousal.

What were you thinking about just before your friend pointed out the redness of your upper arms?

When I get mad or upset, the top tips of my ears glow red.

Thank you for the answers. It was a doctor who asked and we covered a number of topics. I think it might come along from feeling pressured. He was really nice, so I don't mean that he was pressuring me. I mean I had so much to say and it doesn't come out so well. I think it is some kind of a build up.

One of my ears burns and not from being touched. My brother and my youngest son get red ears, too. I think for me that comes with being tired.

Everything is connected, eh?

Oh, submitted too quickly. I have also been wondering if there are differences among our population in the way our whole bodies are wired? It is a theory I am playing with, and I may never know the answer. For example, my teeth do not freeze very well at the dentist. If a tooth at the back is supposed to freeze, for example, it will not freeze at all and my front lip freezes. I have an excellent, experienced dentist. I have a nerve in a place where is doesn't belong and I have a nerve in a place where it should not be. I have some synesthesia and certain words have textures. I wonder if it has anything to do with the way peripheral nerves are mapped and bring information back to the brain. I don't know if I am making sense. It is just one of those thoughts that I entertain. Just curious.
