Teach me how to feel Senpai, I think I've tried to repress all my feelings for a while, thinking they were an obstacle, that they made me weak and vulnerable , thinking being cold hearted would make me deal with shitty situations easier and get ahead of others, but it's only made me miserable.

The other day I almost cried to a song, but I was on the bus and tried really hard not to cry so the other people there wouldn't see me. Never felt something like that before.

How to feel and how to express your feels toward others?

its a feeling, go down into your heart and think through it. most ppl are firmly in their heads and ignore their heart.

so like when someone dies, they will rationalize not mourn. when someone talks, their main skill is to analyze (brainy.) this helps if you're studying, but not to enjoy your life.

try to listen to piano music and bring everything into your heart area (ignore your head, where the analyzer is located), this will train yourself to locate it and be happier.

i only just begun, sorry idk.

that's great but people think you're a pussy if you cry in public.

my experience is i just got sad because someone i like rejected me. i went to my room and covered everything to be pitch dark, stayed in a bad mood and promised never to be happy again. then i realize life is better when i specialize in "feels", not "thinks".

if something embarrasses you, makes you cringe, angers you... don't try to suppress it. you'll change.

best tip imo, start listening to piano music or just imagine it playing. feel it in your heart.

i remembered this tune and played it in my head, it made me shed tears before i even thinked because i felt it in the heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXHgjNuprNY (skip to 2:49, idk the name of it)

oh, and when you're not feeling anything, just being in your heart will make you peaceful because you're not pestered by annoying thoughts. you'll react more gentle to people because you're not thinking at them, you feel.


but really idk, i worry i cant follow through well enough with advice... i'm doing it again

i guess that could work

Hey

Thinking like this will screw you over harder than you'll ever realize. There's a difference between thought informed by emotion and judgement based off it. Judgement based off of emotion is the absence of judgement based off thought, which is something a rational being never wants to live their life by.

It's about a balance. Basically, everyone saying, "Think only with your cold logic (if you even have any)," is wrong, and everyone saying, "Think only with your 'heart' is wrong." You need to use both, obviously.

Just stop thinking with your heart, it wasn't made for doing that with anyway..

I'm going through some hard times right now since I usually bottle things up and tend to overthink but this made me change the way I think

Bless you anon

My rational thought is the only thing keeping me from killing myself over the loneliness my heart keeps forcing on my every waking moment of my existence so I will not be taking your advice. At least not today.

>think with your heart
wrong. Thinking with your heart makes you a dramatic waste of time. Never think with your heart, and never reflect: that is the key to happiness.

>never reflect
Good luck with that when you're 75 and on your deathbed.

Happiness is about knowing when to think with your heart, when to think with your brain, and when to use both. More often than not, good decisions require a lot of thought backed up by emotional resilience. Everything in life is about striking a balance.

Don't think of emotion as painful, "pain" = avoidance...

I would opt for counseling and explore the potential of inherent spiritual growth.
