Yeah, know what you mean about work - my office mate was out and I cried a bunch. Really wanted to crawl under my desk.
You are right, what ever the age it's the being honest part - feeling what is there. Kids don't really filter their feelings and reaction, they just let it all come out KAPLOOIE (if they are given the freedom).
We grow up and we are taught to hide our feelings - at work I got criticised for being "too passionate". There was no place where feelings were OK. Loving that guy who didn't love me back - learned to not do that again! And some of us, we tried to love our parents and make them proud, get them to love us back.
Like Tree said we have to learn to welcome our feelings "Hello little anger, hello little sadness". But it is not easy. When I'm in an immature state of mind (happens in therapy quite a bit) then I can let it out better.
One day, one night. Let's keep going Jexa
