We have been told by everyone to not let our emotions show. No we have been conditioned into acting like we are the perfect emotionless always in control. We frown upon others who in the heat of the moment end up either punching someone or breaking down into tears. We laugh at our friends who hide in the darkened seats of the movie hall as they cry. We don't allow someone to say their part if they raise their voice or have tears streaming down their face and we start mocking them on their inability to be in control.
We aren't just a part of the problem, we are the one's responsible for the problem. If you remove all the layers, all we have is our ability to express, take that away from us and what you are left with is just a shell of nothing. They ask you to go to therapy and you always feel better afterwards, why? Because you let your feelings be felt, you pushed them out of the cage where they were getting restless and allowed them to fly. Once they had tired their wings out they would only come back and fall asleep. And that is what you wasn't isn't it?
Yes it's hard to understand that guy, who bursts out in rage at every small provocation. There is not who I am is not who I am talking about. There are extremes to everything, but when the emotions of someone are in no way hurting your presence. Why to stop them from feeling what they feel? Why call them out and make one of them in public? What is it that you gain expect the loss of trust of someone?
You force people into not being themselves, you make them hate who they are, and then when they hurt themselves because of it, you wonder why they never spoke out about it to anyone. It is simple because you thought them that it was something no one wanted to hear, that they or their feelings were not worthy of anyone's time.
All I am saying you don't always have to be right, you don't always need to call out someone because it doesn't agree with how you feel they should act. They need to feel what they feel. It is not a competition of who can stay calm the longest. The more you leave a wound uncared for, the more it festers, the more time it will take to heal. Just let people feel!
