I've had the problem since my childhood. I hated expressing my emotions. When something great happend it was like
[my relatives]: You aren't happy? O____o [me]: I am. And now I am like "why people go with this emotional **** all the time". I've got headaches when feel strong emotions, no matter if they're negative or positive. I acknowledge that probably emotions are very important in my life and I have problems partly because I can't live them through properly but most of the time I'm just indifferent and I don't even know how to describe my mood not using the most popular adjectives like "happy" or "sad" (in fact these are extremals and maybe that's the problem, I can't describe usual states). It's easier when I've got a list of adjectives and I can just choose something. |

Hello posterestante: The Skeezyks learned early in life that no one wants to hear about his emotions.
 So he just keeps them to himself. Then, every so often, some little thing ticks him off & he flies into a rage!

 Maybe I don't think that nobody is interested in mine as I don't really care or at least this is what is present on my conscious level but I do get into rage from time to time  My mother told me once that she was afraid cause I sometimes act like the insane. Well, I guess she wasn't very wrong  It's just hard for me to show small emotions and I have no idea if I should learn it or not. I'm pretty sure it makes your social life easier. |

Observe how other people deal with theirs. What do they say? How do they act? What seems to work for them and what seems to not? It is possible you may garner something helpful from what you see others do to deal positively or badly with emotions.
Communication. I'm pretty sure communication is a big part of coping with emotions. The ability to talk about what is on our mind with another is a huge way of letting it out, letting it go, sharing, or whatever else you desire. Just like the inability to share can be stifling and make the emotion feel that much stronger. Keeping it bottled up on purpose will do the same. |

Being authentic.
Feeling what you're feeling, when you're feeling it and remembering how that was, even if it is painful. Whatever you feel, even if it's hopeless or feeling aparthetic that's still feeling something. Key is to move into the emotions you want more of, create memories from whatever you can, reflect back and journal if you can, there are even apps to keep a record on what you've felt, or assistance in recognizing what it is you're feeling so you can identify it and tie it in to a memory, situation or experience. If you feel it, you can heal it. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
