  • Learn how to express your feelings and share your emotions without fear.
    I wish I had know to do this before. That way I wouldn't have kept so many things to myself. I would have been able to share so many things with my loved ones!

    Sometimes we're affraid of the response we will get when we share a feeling, emotion, goal, desire, etc. It's often confused with shyness or being introverted. But guess what?
    We can control the way we want them to respond by letting them know how you would like them to react!
    That takes away the fear of sharing personal things! So be confident about sharing!
    But keep this in mind. If what we want to share is related to the person we want to share it with, we can't control or condition their reaction. So we need to make sure we're ready to accept what ever the response will be.

    I don't know what's wrong with me but whenever I try to express my feelings or thoughts with someone I cry idk why but I just cry and my hands start shaking and I feel uneasy my breathing is uneven every time, even with my family and people close to me it always happens to me for some reason and I'm unable to say what I want to say it's like my voice is on mute I can't get anything out.

      Or, if someone has been hurt or shut down for a while, often all feelings come out as “cry” at first. Once we get better at identifying feelings, the more we talk about them and think about them , they come out less like an avalanche. It gets easier.

      It's a very voluntable position to be in. To express your feelings. It's scary because you are scared of what their reaction may be. Sometimes even when you tell then how to react to your feelings they will not automatically do as you say, and at that moment you should walk away before it escalates. But you must have faith that it will all work out in the end. If it does not and people cannot learn to accept your feelings then you must get away because it is not a healthy environment for anyone. Live your truth and you will be able to hold your space and hold space for others.

      I think the starting point is allowing yourself to feel your emotions on all levels.
      The next step would be to start sharing your feelings with whoever you feel most comfortable sharing them with.
      And letting go of the emotional block one step at a time. At your own pace.

      I came here because my heart is heavy. My partner said “I just feel like I’m constantly defending myself with you”. So trying to understand why that is and I don’t mean to make him feel that way. Think it’s the way I express my opinions. I like what you said about telling others how to feel before going into a conversation.

    I'm terrified to share how I feel. Anytime I did as a kid I was shamed put down or made to feel like my feelings weren't valid or accepted by my family friends or relationships. My most recent ex would take my concerns and feelings and turn it into a fight. They'd call me crazy. But now I'm with someone I really want to be open and vulnerable with and it's so hard. I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to be open and honest without fear of how they'll react and if I'll be put down again.

    • @StacyRocklein
      @StacyRocklein  Před 3 lety +19

      It's ok to dig through those emotions to get to the other side.
      Don't ignore them. Untangle them.
      Eventually they will start dissolving and you'll be able to explore more emotions.

    I fell in love with this boy before the coronavirus. I cannot even express how much I love him. I cry about him almost everyday. My family is too strict so I can't really tell any one about him. Although my best friend knows what I'm going through. It's been 2 years since I've met him... I reached out to him and asked for some time so that we can talk. I am so scared to tell him everything that happened in these past 2 years. Knowing that someome will read this makes me relaxed and kinda better. And I really hope no one goes through the same thing.

    @RominaLamberti Před 3 lety +20

    One thing i learned in life is no matter how you word things, other people may not be ready to listen and you'll end up disappointed. So you have to first gage if the person you are speaking your truth to is prepared to receive it. It's also best to find internal support, validation and love. The more we know we are complete, the less lonely we'll feel and the less
    dependent we'll be on others for understanding, support and validation. Eventually you won't care so much if someone understands you because you'll know you've developed a true connection to YOUR inner being, which is the true being that wants to be heard and seen. And you'll know that even though others may not be there to support you, the universe supports you.

    i struggle so much with expressing my sadness or emotion to the point where family members think i am cold and insensitive. In reality, i am a very sensitive and emotional person. I also CANNOT cry for some reason in front of others. I have to be alone. Sometimes when i've cried because i am upset and then it's visible that i have cried, i pretend that i am not upset and that i've actually hurt myself like poked my eye or something, kind of stupid but yeah. The worst thing is when i really want or need to cry and other people are there, i clench my fists and sometimes pinch myself to stop the tears from coming. I feel like i bottle up my feelings so much to the point that i am afraid that i won't ever feel any emotions anymore or that if i am a little sad i will end up letting all of my past hurts come out and i will cry excessively.
    LOL i didn't expect to write that much, even if nobody reads or replies it felt kind of good to write it all out.

    • @StacyRocklein
      @StacyRocklein  Před 3 lety +6

      Crying is such a good thing! I'm serious, it is sooo healthy because it helps you release emotions.
      It doesn't mean you have to cry in front of people... but it's about the release. It's about YOU.
      And if your past hurst end up coming out, then you'll get the perfect chance to peel them off so they can't hurt you any more. Don't keep them inside. Let them out and get rid of them!
      Of course I read every single word you typed.

      I takes time to build a wall. When it's fresh you can just knock it down easily, but after it has dried up it's really tough to take it down. How many years did it take you to build it? Double that number, that's probably how long it's gonna take you to break it down. It's not easy, but it's not impossible. So how do you do it? Brick by brick, day by day. 💙

I'm having a hard time processing and expressing my emotions especially in this time of pandemic lockdown. I have no problems accepting other people's reactions since I rarely processed my emotions, but now it seems like I fear of being critiqued on what I want to be on expressing them. I really don't know anymore and I'm afraid how to express and show these feelings to my few selected friends, I have a tough past though, its just I survived all these physical backlashes but the mental and psychological state of my mind keeps haunting me :/ .

    Ive been the protector almost my whole life and in the past have been told to stop crying and care for my twin sister. So I did. I think that might be why. Im not sure. But I try to talk about my feelings and I start crying its not accompanied by any kind of emotion. Im mainly just embarrassed but it usually takes explaining how I feel out of the question. I can joke about how I feel but when its the honest straight up answer Im unable to talk without my throat closing up. Im pretty sure people get more worried about my tears than what im actually trying to tell them. Anything that other people say about how I may be feeling that hits the mark also makes me cry. I would like to talk to someone about it but I don’t even know why it’s happening.

    The other way around I am pretty quickly overwelmed by the emotions of other people. My default is a complet shutdown (dont move, dont say anything, etc.), which in turn is interpreted as ignorance.

Take your time with it, and if you feel confident enough, bring that subject up to that person later after you've had time to process and think about what you wanna say. 💙

    I left you so that you won’t hurt me in the future I wanted to live with you and saw myself marrying you but that stuff scars you away so I had to let you go. How should I go about this, give some time apart I now want to show her that that was a confused past self and I want to work on us and take the present and future by the horns. And dive into it. W her .
    How should I go about this situation. A week and 3 days have past.thank you so much god bless

    I have a best friend, and I fucking love her. Don't get me wrong, she's annoying as fuck, but still she is very supportive. She is also an introvert, like me. So once me and her were drinking tea, and I didn't want biscuits. She was eating happily, but I didn't want to. Its actually because people say im fat, my family, my so called friends. So I skipped breakfast and ate little in lunch. After finishing our tea, she asked me the whole day about why I didn't eat. I said that its nothing, but she knew better. She has known me for almost 10 years. She knows me. Then later I told her while walking, that it was kind of just because of people judging me and saying im fat. She asked me who said that, and then I said my grand father, grand mother, father and al my classmates. She knows me, I never loved myself, but I never hated myself so much. Now I do, and then she said that we should walk and go outside often. Now I want to be more open to her, and talk about my problems more. We both had fake friends, we talked about that. But I really want to open up to her because she is the only one I have. I really love her

    I hold everything in. Literally and to others it may seem that i’m Obvlious or not catching on to what’s going on but I get so scared to respond but the only thing that’s doing is putting me back and not living true. It’s scary to be vulnerable and let others know you love them and keeps going without overthinking. I think the more I keep quiet the more i hurt others and hurt myself bc i’m the one who suffers with not expressing or feeling what i’m actually feeling to not hurt others, instead of helping i’m hurting them and myself. We’re all human with emotions and it’s okay.

    I love my family so much. but sometimes my family members think im ungrateful when I dont express emotions. Like if its something exciting I wont express excitement even though in my head, im extremely excited about it. I really want to and wish i could express emotion because they probably would feel more proud and happy, but I would feel weird doing it since i don’t do it often. I feel like when I dont show how excited I am they’re probably thinking how ungrateful I am or if they didn’t meet the standards I wanted. But that’s not true at all. Idk I feel out of place and I want to laugh with them. or them to laugh with me (If that makes any sense). I feel like im wasting my teen years acting like a fake version of myself around my family.

I find it hard on its own to tell people personal things about myself like how I’m feeling or if I’m ok. I just can’t. They tell me that I can tell them but the words won’t come out. I see their names appear on my phone and I want to tell them so bad that I’m so done and that I want to tell them everything and cry on their shoulder while they tell me it’s ok. I’m crying my eyes out while trying to calm myself down. It doesn’t work anymore I just sit and it doesn’t stop. I want to someone. anyone. But I’m afraid they’ll tell me they don’t care or they won’t know what to say. I never know what to do when someone’s crying so it’s in the back of my mind that they don’t know what to do either. That they’ll just look at me and tell me their bad stuff. Like if I say I’m feeling rlly down they might just say same lol I’m depressed. I need someone to care about me. To comfort me no matter what. Through all of the bad. I miss everyone even though I see them almost everyday. They need to know. But I just can’t say. I can’t.

      Hi Teresa, I totally get what you mean.

After the first one, everything will be a lot easier. Imagine how awesome it's gonna be if it turns into a habit and you infect your whole family with it!! 💙 What I mean by working on a feeling is understanding the reasons behind it, digging deep and managing your expectations of what's gonna happen once you share it. It may not always got the way you expect it to, so you gotta be ready for everything. You may not be able to do this all at once, it's not easy. So just take it step by step.

I feel like getting it out if it's really important is a bigger deal than what my physical body is doing.

      It's normal to be affraid, but you can choose to transform that fear into courage.
      Go with whatever you heart tells you. Do you feel ready?

    I just can't feel anything most of the time. People neglect and ingore me so I did Same with myself. One part of me wants to feel and express but another part of me say no you can't. You deserve it. You're bad you're meant to feel pain. I feel like I don't deserve anything good. I have no one to share and people whom I can share don't live near my house i just don't want to go outside (but I also want to go outside) my boyfriend live in another country he had a busy schedule. I want to spend that time with him happily instead of telling him how many problems I had and waste that precious time. I don't know. What I should do..

      It sounds like you've got a lot going on internally. Focus on the thoughts that make you feel good. Kindness toward yourself begins with you.

      @@StacyRocklein but what do you do when those positive thoughts don't help or progress the situation, I've been to counselling many time and been in and out of mental health services and still nothing, I push everyone close to me away via the way I act or the things I do, I don't see myself as the problem and I feel like everyone is against me, that's not healthy for a 22 year old surely

    Ive been feeling bad for so long....i really want to tell my partner i love them but i can never say it....i get overwhelmed by my emotions so easily so for their sake (they get upset whenever im sad)so i never say it....they know about this and we have a way of telling eachother "i love you" in different words but im currently working on myself and these issues to be able to tell my partner that i love them.

      Of course you get triggered when you are yelled at and it could result in you freezing up the next time you try to share. That makes sense! We all need partners to hold us with kindness and generosity when we're trying to share.

      I think it's normal to feel this way. You can't control the first though/feeling, but you can control the next one. Learning to manage your emotions and expectations should help you in the future.

    the sad part is that this is a video because people unnormalized things like this in peoples childhoods, just sharing something about how you are excited and are really joyful and happy for something you want to share, would get shunned for expressing THEM but they’d be confined to expressing other people only instead of THEIR own personal feelings which they think are invalid because they’re ingrained they’re invalid other people would love to listen to what you have to say, they love you
