Expressing and Releasing Feelings

the positive ones I smile give hugs and show I am happy , the negative ones , I would cry ( if alone or with close family or friends ) If someone hurts me I don't say anything but cry when I am alone , I feel things really deeply pal , I am also not afraid to show my love either , I hope this is the kind of explanation you wanted pal xx

hi Darkwing. Hope you have had a good week my friend. Well let me see. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve with most of my feelings, but there are some feelings I find it hard to deal with and because of my depression they tend to get bottled up. I'm not sure if I can express it all in words. Positive Feelings Loved - I can express my feelings easily if I feel loved. Enthusiastic. Again easy to express, because I can get excited about things. Courageous - Not sure. I try to be courageous Vibrant - ??? Not sure what you mean, Brave - Just grit my teeth and get on with it. Proud. It is easy to express my feelings about this. Negative Feelings I don't like expressing negative feelings. These are the ones that upset me and are difficult to deal with. Especially rejection or feeling unloved because of my childhood. I tend to keep these ones under close wraps. Disgusted Frustrated Rejected Frightened Unloved Sorry I can't answer the question better than this, but I am unsure exactly what you are asking. If you are asking whether I keep my negative feelings under wraps then yes I do tend to and then eventually it causes a lot of problems for me when I go on a downer. Hope this helps. have a great weekend! xx

Hi Sweets I am having a rough time with emotions right now so will opt out of this discussion but you are one of my fav friends so I'll answer you anyway.. xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hi Darkwing! I usually am very expressive with positive feelings. I hug family and friends a lot when I feel positive feelings or when I am happy. I smile a lot, laugh a lot. I feel so light and is so active. I feel like I am flying when I have those positive feelings. But with negative feelings, I tend to keep it inside me..I just cry alone and don't want anyone to see me in that condition. Even I feel so sad, no one in our family nor friends know. I always have that ready smile. Hubby knows because he always say my eyes are not smiling. Just my thoughts dear friend. Take care and have a nice day!

You are right, thoughts and feelings are not the same. Thoughts are the result of brain activity and feelings are the results of emotions which are the result of some hormones being released into the bloodstream. Each can influence the other and this has given rise to the adage, mind over body. Feelings, especially negative feelings have to be realeased, or vented otherwise they may cause some physical or psychological damage. Sharing it with another is dangerous because of transference and the other person will also be affected by the negative emotions.

hello darkwing, thought are not feelings but concepts in our mind, it is assigned in our head... feelings are thoughts-internalize, it affects us, it is assigned in our heart... releasing feelings, is the whole picture, it is the visual representation, it is called in-action, in-motion, it is our outlet. thoughts felt, digerati

True, I also think about this most of the times and I always believe that both are different from one another. Sometimes, we say things that we don't feel for. I think they some people say things unconsciously, even without giving it a thought for it could be triggered by emotions. I always tell myself to be patient, be passionate, but express things just in a right way. I am always vocal for my feelings, express them in the best and hope that people would get the message. I think I am worse in expressing my feelings about love, I could always utter endearing words almost every minute and sometimes it's already annoying my loved ones. And there are times that I express my feelings through actions, they already know when I'm happy because I am always lively and they could hear me singing or humming songs. Same goes for my negative feelings, I could be quiet at times and sometimes I easily get irritated or annoyed at simple things..
