Can you control your emotions? If we laugh then its okay but when we felt like crying, seems we hide it why?

@mlgen1037 hhhhehehe, I always have the ability to control my emotions Louise. That is when I am in public and in front of my kids lol. But yes crying is good in letting out what's inside you.

@mlgen1037 of course they can. Oftentimes i want to cry when i visit them for weeks and then leave and go back to the province. That is nevet easy even if i'm used to it.

@chavezrmc Thank you, my friend. But I think your children can sense if you are sad or not. We know it because my mom is good in hiding her feelings even if deep inside she wants to cry.

@chavezrmc No, I don't think anyone cares about how I feel. I do hope you are okay.

It depends where I am at. If I am at work, I contain my feelings and not let my emotions get the best of me. If it has become too much and I know that I will definitely start crying, either I will close my office door or I will excuse myself to the bathroom. I do not want my peers to see me in that state. But when I am at the privacy of our home, I have no reservations showing my husband how I really feel.

@Raine38 I understand if we are home we can let go whatever emotions we have and we are in public we just have to keep it inside us. That I think what everyone is doing. When we in the lowest emotions we usually keep it but when we are in our happiest we let go.

@lcydoll, I know the feeling. Yes when it comes to our love ones we always have this feeling. Happiness or sadness we do cry.

I can always control my feelings, it doesn't look like I'm hurting because I hide it. But when it comes to crying, there is no way I could control it, I tend to cry easily when I could not hold back.

Becaue crying is a sign of weakness in someone's mind... and most people cry because they are upset, and that makes people turn heads and be curious. Lately people became so sour that even if you laugh in a public space they look at you as if they are ready to eat you then and there. I say don't mind what anyone says and do what you feel.

@Anaeu92 You have your point. Don't mind how people will react on what you are doing. But though we say that, We know we are still get affected by how they are reacting towards us.

If we control our emotions, which part of us is doing the controlling, and is it taking energy away from somewhere else in us, that should be being used for loving, for example?
The emotions are a force unto themselves, and yet this force must be allowed to be itself, on the one hand, but curtailed, on the other hand, so that they do not gain full control over all of you.
We are far more than our being just our emotions.
If we feel the emotion, and then let it go then, it won't linger around then in us, past its use by date, to control us, when at which stage it starts to change our thoughts to negatively aligned thoughts too, rather than them remaining balanced ones, which are more healthy and loving for all concerned.

Our emotions should not be the full picture of who we are. They are a mere reflection of only a part of ourselves.

@innertalks Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You are right, we must not be controlled by our emotions that is why we have to let it go and move forward. But often time our happy emotions can be easily showed to everyone. But on our sadness or the lowest feeling that we can have then its so difficult to show. Have a great day.

@chavezrmc Yes, and sometimes, it's just the opposite too. We can never be happy, or show our happiness, we seem to be deeply sad at all times, and sometimes, we might even try to hide our sadness behind a false veneer of happiness only being acted out.
Emotions can be very complex, but the genuine ones, always have their roots within love, I think, and so we should let them flower, and then naturally die down again when the time comes for the flower to die down, so to speak.
What I mean is if we feel angry, we should not totally suppress it, but look for what's behind it first, acknowledge it, but don't necessarily act out on it, feeling it, and acting on it, are two different things, I think.

@Szybola, I guess you are right people usually would think a negative thing about our crying. Crying seems to be a negative emotion. But sometimes we cry coz of too much happiness too.
