How did you learn to deal with your emotions?

When I was a kid I was a depressed, weird loner.

My parents were loving but worked so hard, there wasn't anyone left to actually raise me.

So it took years to realize what my problem even was. I was afraid if I bottled things up, then I'd never get better but everytime I tried to let just a little out people chastised me. Called me terrible things and pushed me away even more.

Made me hate everyone for a while until I realized everyone was kinda in the same boat as me. And I started loving people because I could see myself in them. Even when they were being mean.

So all those years of wishing people could just do "xyz instead" I was able to turn around on myself as a teenager.

It's still kinda a shabby fix. But I think it works. 😂

I give all my negative emotions and positive purpose. Like anxiety and fear i make into focus. Guilt i turn into guidance. Anger is motivation. Judgement is awareness... a lot like you said you see yourself in other even when they are being rude to you.

Emotions have purpose. They are the catalyst that make thoughts into reality.

Emotions are meant to be fully experienced, like you discovered, instead of bottled up and ignored. They then become our superpower

I give all my negative emotions a* positive purpose.

Couldn't agree more. You said something hard to describe so clearly. Love it

Thanks man. I just took what you discovered and put it into words. This world is about exploring the combination of freedom and unity. Emotions are how we do that.

I am a bit guilty of spending to much time wondering why we feel the things we do lol. 😵 I liked your question more then that button can express.

I did similar... except the "hate part"

I focused on making others happier... and that, eventually brought me my own

For a long time, I just suppressed them. Now I’m learning to be okay with crying again

I never fully have. I live with depression so each day is full of ups and downs.

I've always been comfortable expressing my emotions with people.

Exercising and keeping busy was also a coping method to deal with my emotions
