Inside Out, The Movie; Wow, What Did You Think?

[lostforgottensoul]

"Oh we have an airplane everyone"

"Ohhhhh" lol!

"Brain freeze!"

I love joy. Reminds me of @scout86 for some reason. Lol. I have no idea why! And Im not even but a few mins in.

Sadness reminds me of me.

'Im sorry, I didnt mean to touch it, i didnt know, im sorry"

"Remember the funny movie where the dog dies"

Sadness & fear = me.

Oh wait, and anger.

Stupid question, but are all emotions what we 'feel'?

I keep having the "THAT is an emotion???" conversation with my T. In his mind, all "feelings" are emotions. He says "If you can't put it in a wheel barrow or a dump truck, it's a feeling." :confused:

The question of whether vulnerability is something we feel or something we are is a good one. I suppose it could be either or both. We ARE vulnerable when we are actually in danger, I think. But, I think we can also "Feel" vulnerable when it really is just something we feel on the inside. For example, I "feel" vulnerable when my T brings up the subject of emotions or vulnerability.

Wow @scout86 . Yes I see.

And perhaps how we act on them (emotions), or deny them, or simply even view them. And how it inter-relates. Because, for example, trust requires vulnerability of sorts, or results in it, but most times we've been vulnerable trust was the last thing appropriate to give (if abused).

:hug:

Funny you should say that..... After the first few minutes of the movie, I was ready to choke Joy. I MEAN! That has to be the most annoying character ever created! And......She reminds me of me too. :D

I don't know what motivates Joy. "Joy", I suppose? What motivates me is actually more like fear. Long complicated story. I've thought about this a lot since watching the movie. My T says that it seems to him that my mother experienced "feelings" that disturbed her and she just kind of threw all of her feelings of distress out into the world and expected people to "fix" them. From Day 1, I was one of those people. Only, obviously, I had no idea what was going on or what to do about it. So I learned that the thing to do was be resolutely up beat and positive, no matter what, and to try to make everyone else feel better....Or die. :wideeyed: It's morphed a bit. Now, it's more like what I call "channeling my inner border collie". If I've decided I'm "responsible" in some way, shape, or form, then my motive is "I'm going to get all of us out of here alive or die trying!" :facepalm:

Haven't talked about any of that with T.......yet.

And perhaps how we act on them (emotions), or deny them, or simply even view them.

I think so. On a related note, my T talks about "processes" as opposed to "things". Something like "Depression" or "Anxiety", he says are "processes. We aren't depressed, we are dealing with depression. It does kind of make a difference, how you look at it. Stuff like that is really something you feel, not something you are.

Oh god, the parent's emotions. Love the dad's

"Perpare the foot" "the foot is down, the foot is down" haha!

What motivates me is actually more like fear.

Me too. I dont know why she reminds me of you. "We'll figure this out" i guess. Cant fully pinpoint it.

 

[scout86]

I dont know why she reminds me of you.

She reminds ME of "me" because she feels compelled to put a positive spin on absolutely everything. LOL

 

[lostforgottensoul]

That was pretty good. Not a "crier' but good. Joy & sadness work together?

It seems that "joy" had emotions too. Thats sounds like me; my emotions have emotions whom have emotions.........

 

[lostforgottensoul]

She reminds ME of "me" because she feels compelled to put a positive spin on absolutely everything.

YES, that is totally it!

 

[lostforgottensoul]

He said he thought they should have included "vulnerability". Not something I particularly wanted to talk about.

I thought that too! There were a lot of emotions they left out besides joy/happiness, fear, anger, disgust...there are way more emotions then that. I dont know if vulernablity is a "core" emotion. I think of it like primary colors. Theres "core" colors and everything else is a mixture of that. Vulnerablity is like that which has fear in it. So maybe thats "primary colors" of our emotions and everything else are mixtures and intensities.

 

[scout86]

YES, that is totally it!

:D

I've heard the guys who made the movie interviewed. They consulted a psychologist, but the biggest problem they had was trimming the list of emotions down to something that would fit into a movie.

Haha, right! But i can see "core emotions" like primary colors. Makes sense.

Haha, Joy drove me crazy too at first, but then I realized that 'is' joy- Joy's job. Not finding positives so much as 'being' joy.

What motivates me is actually more like fear..try to make everyone else feel better....Or die.

Same for me ^^. Dad ill & away, family troubles, any problem (aka need) could cause more stress would cause death (literally). At least from age 4. (But actually that's when the Doctor said he should have been dead, & going by the severe jaundicing- under stress- he was right).

channeling my inner border collie"

This is too funny for words. ^ :roflmao:

Thank you @scout86 . Yes I can't think of myself (yet) as more than the negative parts, which as you say are not 'us'.

Joy & sadness work together?

I think so! I think we as people forget it's usual to have many emotions at one time. I think the movie's point is they're all trying to help us (though it might not seem like it).
