Do you ever wanna let your emotions?

[Meson Bolt 2,648]

Most of the time, since I don't have any IRL friends that like to hear me ramble, I just bottle up my frustration and anger until I get a chance to let it all out.

 

For instance, I'd been keeping in negative feelings for 16 years, until finally college stress got to me and I completely destroyed a washing machine, punched a hole through my bedroom wall, and knocked over a 10-foot shelf of china all in the span of thirty seconds. Ended up costing me more than the textbooks I was using.

 

Every month or so after that I'd use a pocket knife and cut myself in the arm to let my emotions out. I even contemplated stabbing myself a couple of times, but I didn't have the guts for it... no pun intended.

 

Since then, I've set a goal to find someone who will listen to me rant so that I don't get so destructive again.

I normally don't get to release my emotions. I have to hide the way I feel most of the time. Truth is that I feel extremely angry and sad and lonely.

 

It would be nice to let some emotion out sometime

[Comic Sans 401]

I spend a lot of my time feeling lonely, but then I never really do much to make myself feel better about the matter. I just tend to type my feelings and rants up in blogs.

[Meson Bolt 2,648]

...I think this topic is psychic. This is the third time it's appeared on my screen right after I finished ranting about something.

 

I don't know how to process this...

not really, i tend to not show emotion

[Lume WMj 228]

I personally find it very important to just let it all out before those negative feelings take over. I've been depressed before, and just speaking from the heart to my family and close friends helped me overcome it more than anything else ever could. Even when you don't know exactly what's bothering you so much, just being around your loved ones is the best medicine~ c:

I would love to let my anger flow, to be the kind of jerk people respect and give space to, as needed but that wouldn't end well. Same with telling people how I feel on the bluer side of the spectrum, they'd probably start saying I crave attention. So I bottle it and hope people learn otherwise before I'm swallowed by either a monster or a well.  

[EpicEnergy 23,224]

I do. Usually I don't show my emotions that much, so I have times where I feel like I need to let out all my emotions including the negative ones.

[TBD 17,256]

I do show my emotions like anger when needed to let people know how I feel but I don't let it take control. I like to keep my emotions in check.

Unfortunately I’m one of those that holds it all in until I end up blowing up at the next person that upsets me

[Rainbow Cloud 18,301]

Sometimes it seems like it would be a release to vent my negative emotions but it would only end up upsetting others and make me feel worst so it best not to.

Always, but I hold back. I've had a lot of pent up anger for a while and I know that it's going to blow up in my face eventually. Hopefully not anytime soon.

[TheRockARockster 52,109]

I usually hold it in until I explode.

I always wanna let my emotions out.

[ExplosionMare 18,085]

Yes, which is why I just listen to music and let it sleep out that way

[Astralshy 27,246]

Yes, but the most of time I'm really good in managing to keep them in.

[Tom Gallagher 33,595]

The horrible thing about me is that when I reach my limit, I end up threatening to severely hurt whoever I’m talking to and then becoming really depressed when I realise what I just said. 

[Dreambiscuit 10,091]

I often hold things in even though I’m not good at concealing it if I have something on my mind. I try to keep it all to myself but the fact remains that hiding emotion isn’t always a good idea. It’s good to clear the air and talk about things that are getting you bogged down or stressed out. People often want to help but can’t do so if they don’t know what’s wrong. When I finally let it all out I usually go all the way and really blow out those mental cobwebs. It can be unpleasant to see but very cathartic. I don’t think it’s very healthy to bottle things up perpetually.

[Cash In 22,497]

Yeah, but I generally manage to keep myself under control and find smaller and less explosive ways of releasing those emotions.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,929]

Sure, if additional hours were there.  

[Fluttershutter 2,529]

I'd rather be able to suppress them more effectively. (Most of them.)

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,929]

Sleep is coming, so very little emotion is there
