Do People Have Emotions On WP?

Post Reply New Topic

Pretty unemotional usually.

Also, hi. Haven't posted here in ages.

I hate my emotions. If I didn't have emotions I wouldn't have so many f*****g problems in life. I'd be functional.

Sometimes I go on here, and I see people posting stupid s**t, and it pisses me off. Why do I keep coming back here? Because I'm addicted to online forums.

I can become quite emotional and far too open and expressive with my emotions. I, often find myself wanting to make people feel happy and cared for. I tend to want to make sure others don't feel alone, and do feel acknowledged. I have been working on staying aware and mindful of the extent to which I express myself. I never had realized that what I find to be positive emotions, can be of significant discomfort to others, therefore, I am making a conscious effort not to express every feeling I have, every desire, and would like to establish a more balanced way of interacting here.

I don't understand this whole ice cold heartlessness we're all supposed to have. In fact if I hear about it one more time, I think I may scream my head off.

Maybe it`s because I'm a female aspie, or because every one of us is different, but I tend to get some very raw emotions when on WP, like anger and frustration when I read about misconceptions and injustice, or happiness and amusement when reading or posting jokes or TV references.

When I was younger I was often scolded, lectured or even punished for being too emotional. Like any emotional distress is "wrong".

Most of the time I feel emotionally numb or neutral, but when I do get emotions they feel very intense.

Only when I let myself. And it's taken years to get to this point of self control.

Me? No, I'm Master Chief and I am a soulless husk of green armour who destroys alien civilizations.

I don't have enough emotions, so my family seems to claim anyway. I suppose that is unrelated here though.

starkid, after reading your explanation to Ashariel, I am realizing that perhaps you are referring more specifically, to empathy - which stems from our emotions, of course. : )
