Feelings

[donethat]

I think it bears repeating...."we are NOT...our feelings !"
Yes...I fall into big pits too. I am NOT who and what, I "FEEL" that I am when in the middle of the pit.
And neither are you.

f*ck feelings.

They are useless.

They only serve to hold us back.

Well...f*ck the negative ones. I haven't given up yet on believing the positive ones....But at the moment , not sure what I believe about anything.....except stop the f*ck ing circus, and kick me off in a commune. (:).
If I am my feelings right now....I must be a pretty sick and twisted guy...

Even the "positive" ones serve to make you vulnerable and set you up for being hurt.

@EveHarrington I agree! Why did I try to "feel" anyways? These feelings make me feel fcking aweful....emotional numbness please now!

 

[EveHarrington]

@WishfulThinking123 id take numbness any day! I can't feel "good" without getting overwhelmed. I'm too emotional for anyone to want to have anything to do with me (except my mom, at least she has motherly love for me.)

Thank you, @donethat...I needed to read that tonight. Feelings are what make this human experience uniquely ours, and it takes a lifetime to learn to manage them. Some people never do...

I think my point may have been understated. Just cause I feel...a certain way, does not mean that I am....that word or feeling, etc. If i wake up feeling worthless, that does not mean I am...worthless. I am simply "feeling" that way.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Feelings are simply that...just feelings...they aren't facts. Learning how to recognize and navigate them, then figuring out your own functional flow, especially if it in any way goes against the "normal" flow, is where it gets tricky, especially after a lifetime of being conditioned to suit the desires and expectations of others.

Sometimes I only let myself express how I think I am expected to feel...sometimes I don't even know what I actually feel
