I have a life-long battle with learning to express my emotions, feeling, and experience. I always believed that I had failed as a human being because I was not expressing my feelings or really being honest with myself about my emotions.
The more I tried to hide my emotions and pretend I was happy when I wasn’t, the worse it got.
I often felt like a robot and had no emotions, thoughts, or feelings to be felt. I lived and experienced my life to the fullest, no emotion, no real connection, no true feeling.
This was not about suppressing my emotions or trying to be someone I was not. This was about not allowing myself to have the emotional experience that I desired.
A lot of it came from the subtle messages and messages from society perpetuated by magazines and television shows that tell us to suppress our emotions and emotions we should be feeling and express.
I know that when I really connect with others, I feel connected and part of a group. When I connect with myself, I connect with who I am, not who I am not, and a part of me wants to share with the world.
But I have this fear, and I think many people have this fear that expressing our emotions, feeling our emotions, or showing our feelings will make us seem weak or less than.
But I have been working to overcome this fear for years now and fully understand why I have so much trouble expressing myself.
What causes the emotions to hide?
Many times, I felt that if I showed my emotions, I would not be taken seriously.
I felt that if I showed my emotions, I would be perceived as a faker.
But there were other times I felt that if I showed my emotions, I would not hide behind them.
I felt that if I showed my emotions, I would not hide behind my emotions.
I felt that if I showed my emotions, I would be seen as an emotional person, that I was not as tough as I thought I was, and would not be taken seriously in the workplace or any other social situation.
I have been learning over the last few years because I am so afraid to express my feelings that deep down, I do not like how I feel, but I do not know how to change.
It is often easier to mask my feelings, hide behind something than to feel, and figure out how to change myself.
- Do you want to change your life?
- How will you be able to change?
To change, you must know what is holding you back.
You must be willing to change.
Once you know what is holding you back, you are far more able to do something about it.
The way you change will depend on your state of mind. If you are in an angry, frustrated, or depressed state of mind, your body is more inclined to find a physical outlet for its energy. This means that if you are angry, frustrated, or depressed, you are more likely to hurt yourself or others around you.
This is why it is important to identify what causes you to shut down and work to change it.
You can’t change your body
Many times, people do not want to change their bodies. When we understand this, it helps to be able to accept our bodies as they are.
Instead of trying to change who we are, we can use our bodies as our healthiest outlets.
For example, some people are stuck in a “weight-gain” state, where they do not want to eat healthy food or exercise. They do not want to gain weight.
But a healthy body and healthy food can actually make people more compassionate, loving, and understanding.
A lot of times, people do not want to change their bodies because they feel helpless. They feel like their bodies are out of their control, that no matter what they do, they will continue to gain weight.
So they try to control their body by doing less or not exercising.
But when you change the physical aspect of who you are, you are changing who you are, not your body.
You can’t control your body, but you can control yourself.
You can change your body’s environment
Once we are willing to accept who we are, we can also focus on how we affect the physical environment surrounding us.
When you set the correct atmosphere around you, your body can be in a healthier environment to grow and thrive. You can put in good air, good food and bring in happy people around you who can provide you with inspiration and drive.
Again, this is a way to change the physical environment that is causing you to feel poorly.
Conclusion
When you connect deeply with yourself, you can connect with others in a much deeper way.
Let that relationship vibrate through you.
This way, you can be a better version of yourself, a better version of who you already are.
And this is the key. That is the key.
The next step after feeling the connection is connecting with your partner or with the person you are in love with.
When you connect deeply with your partner, you become the “Other” that you’re looking for.
When you connect deeply with yourself, you can also connect deeply with someone else.
