Not feeling anything is ironically the worst feeling I’ve ever felt.
I spent 4 years like that. It was awful

@@ladyfadga dude can you just fucking don’t. that is not funny anymore, and this isn’t reddit or something to be joking about.
Ikr?? I just sit there feeling like a ghost. Like i don't exist. It's the worst feeling bc emotional numbness happens when you're being exposed to something toxic for your mental health. You may be a victim of abuse or smth and years or months later you become numb. It doesn't bother you at all anymore. You barely feel anything.

#8: You become fat and "lazy". You eat whatever and whenever you want and stay on the computer all day to feel comfortable all the time. You begin to avoid or hate things that make you feel uncomfortable like being cold or too hot, exercise, new tasks, and reading.
#9: You turn to addiction to numb your feelings.
I feel attacked. 😉
How long you been spying on me?
At least my addiction is to sugar lol it’s so easy to find
Are you spying on me- I'm concerned-
Why is the too hot or cold one so accurate
Personally, I hate being vulnerable to people. Like just having my feelings out there makes me feel like I’m not in control of that and they can use that against me or would end up telling someone I don’t really feel comfortable sharing that with. Im also scared of looking weaker than I already am. I want to open up to people so bad but whenever I do, I end up feeling bad about it later and I won’t be able to stop thinking about it.
Can I just say I know exactly how you feel, I have almost never been free to express myself in my own family because I immediately get shut down and told I'm wrong and shouldn't be feeling what I am. Ever since all I can do is repress all of my feelings, so I don't make mistakes or look weak and unable to do things. To top it all off, I can never admit that to my parents because I'm afraid they will do what they always do, or I could get punished for saying things like this. I don't need people to tell me what is right and what isn't, I want someone who will listen to and understand what I'm going through.
@@carsonwood3766 Amen I understand that toxicity in family. Going through it right now
@@RR-dh4jh I'm sorry, I hope one day you'll find a way to deal with this
@@carsonwood3766 Thank you, I pray I do. Some people as I see will never change. And that's what I'm trying to accept as an adult and I've been going through this since a child that only wanted to bring my family together, hence, I was family oriented. It played a role in my past mental health issues and I'm no longer claiming those mental health issues, the underlying issue was low self esteem issues and I will be a growing progress not digress in life. Of course, I have a whole story, but im trying to hope for the best. And thank you very much. And also, sorry you've went through what you've went through. May goodness be with you.
I’ll be honest, I just don’t like talking about my feelings
I totally understand that. Have you tried journalling? I find it super helpful!

I have found that completely ignoring emotion, nor acknowledging them, nor displaying them, makes for a very simple life. Sure, this means that nobody will like me. It appears people want to be friends with emotional people and have a mate that is emotional. But it also assures that I will be impossible to be emotionally injured ever again. With nobody in my life, such as friends, family, or a girlfriend, there is nobody in my life to devastate me emotionally again. Being social has very little benefits. But it has a lot of disadvantages, dangers, and unpredictability. I believe I chose the safer and better path by no longer being social. The last time I was in a social setting was 8 August 2000. I care not to repeat any of the emotions stimulated back then by my girlfriend of the time nor my friends of the time. This is why I have no friends nor a girlfriend.
I always tell people this then they think it's a trust issue and try to gain my trust hoping I will tell them things about myself but I don't
@@indridcold8433 Not to sound rude but you sound rather dead and cold inside....
same here
I've always told myself I'm fine and that I'm being overdramatic and it's given me the habit of acually believing that
Yes, being strong is sometimes not strong.. I hope we can all learn to recognize that and accept being vulnerable! :)

How are you repressed when you tell everyone that you are repressed
@@ladyfadga w h a t? That's not what being emotionally repressed is. Have you even watched the video? It's about bottleling up your emotions and not wanting to talk about your emotions (among other things). I can still say I'm emotionally repressed but avoid talking about it in depth.
No one I know has even the slightest clue what goes on inside. I’ve made mistakes in the past trusting and opening up to the wrong people. Sometimes I do wish someone would see through the facade I put up though.
Isn't that like...a cry for help?
:)
It sounds to me that you want to feel understood but you're not actually getting that need met.
7 signs you’re emotionally repressed:
1. 0:44 You hate being asked how you feel
2. 1:12 You struggle with emotional intimacy
3. 1:36 You are always just “fine”
4. 2:02 You rarely get emotional
5. 2:33 You have extreme mood swings
6. 3:04 You deny all of your problems
7. 3:29 You hold grudges against people
Bump! -P2G
and turns out, i’m emotionally repressed
@@Psych2go "you rarely get emotional" What about people who aren't emotional? Repressing feelings isn't the same as being stable and not going around venting to everyone or crying entire rivers if a movie's script says a dog "dies".
this stuff needs to stop being so relatable
I relate to every signs
I feel the worst thing is when you actually open up and express yourself, everyone starts either judging you or telling you "they understand what you're feeling" and maybe...it just makes you feel worse than before.
Also, I think that it hasn't been mentioned but in my opinion, by being a "pleaser" I often tend to feel more depressed or anxious than others, just saying, the environment you grow can seriously harm you... and last but not least I think that people that say to they're children being selfish is bad, isn't good, you can't be always unselfish or you'll end up bottling up you're emotions(and becoming a pleaser) and eventually exploding and blaming it on someone else when it actually was your fault for not saying anything, it's a lesson you should unlearn, I'm not saying you should be completely selfish, just take some alone time and breath, also I wanted to thank Psych2Go because it has helped me a lot through quarantine, hope you read this!
Edit: Here's an interesting anecdote, this happened a couple of years ago, I was 9 years old, I have always wanted to be the best at everything, why? Because...well my sister is really awesome great, grades, great looks, great future, but it doesn't mean I'm jealous of her, quite contrary, I look up to her, since my sister is well awesome, I started putting a lot of pressure to myself to become PERFECT, and that ended up...well affecting my own mother's thoughts whenever I got below a 95 she would say horrible things to me and start comparing me to my sister or some friends. So, when me and my Family moved to Mexico, I had a really hard time, more pressure to please was being added (I was known as the extroverted daughter with thousands of friends) by having to get my grades up, having friends, taking care of my cat, having to deal with everyone in my school who took advantage of me, and faked being my friends just for me to help them on exams or homework, and it felt...good...but inside empty, I bottled everything up, til one day...a friend (he was a real friend) of mine said I ran slower than a turtle, and I just couldn't take more abuse, I skipped P.E and locked myself in the bathroom as I cried and cried, and I got help....from the psychologist and some real friend, but you know what my mom said? Oh get over it, you want to add depression to everything, and worst you looked yourself in a bathroom what is this going to do to your reputation! My dad didn't say that much, he just thought I was seeking attention, my sister...well not much just a plain, but kind of sentimental "Get better, and I'm sorry for you". This event til this day has got me confused, I feel like I can't tell anyone because I'm just seeking attention, like my parents said, but... whoever is reading this comment please seek help, I'm sure more one loving person will be able to help at least a little bit, but you have the power! Xd I just sounded like a energetic drink commercial.
Well, I guess that's all, thank you for all your likes and replies I have never had so much likes, and get better pleaseeee, oh and listen to music it definitely calms me, lots of thanks and I'm really glad I was able to take this out of my chest, you guys should try commenting, maybe you won't have someone you know who understands you, but there is definitely someone around the world who will ( I remember it from a Psych2Go video I think) well bye! (⌐■-■)(=^･ｪ･^=)(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
Edit 2: Wow! I never thought I would get so many likes, literally it has made my day better, thank you all for your likes and I really hope you guys can eventually understand you're worth something, and sometimes even if you don't have someone by your side physically, you can always take a deep breath and relax, believe me, you'll eventually find someone who understands you, and you'll feel a lot more relieved. Thanks, Bye~
I have all signs after heart break . I don’t know I will be able to open up my heart again . Started doing meditation. Any method to overcome these
Same. More often than not, I find myself suppressing my emotions because telling people have led to disappointment in the past. They listened, yes. But after awhile, they used that against you and called you manipulative, possessive, too depressing, etc. It traumatizes me to this day.
@Meritaz ! My god, you just described exactly how I feel in that comment. I have never related to something so much lol
I am so confused about my mom still calls me selfish when I try my best to please others. She calls me selfish on just really little things that I forgot to please, or something that I really don't want to do. Such as I didn't share my food back that I think that is disgusting to share with others, because it may contain my saliva, while the other person shared some candies with me. I'm a member of my school volunteer team and I joined all of the volunteer work that's avalible. I can't understand why I'm called selfish by my mom. But I had some fun in the volunteer work though. I actually think that my mom is more selfish that me cus she vent her emotions on me.
You are spot on. Even though I try to help ninety-nine times out of one hundred, that one hundredth time when I decide to do something for myself, I am labelled as selfish and it’s regularly thrown back at me.
Other instances occur when I have made an arrangement to do something and then with almost no warning, someone has asked me to fix a problem they have created for themselves and when I politely explain that I’m busy at that time, they label me as selfish and always thinking of myself and not others.
It seems like an exaggeration but it happens more often than you think.
It's just that, I don't feel like I can express my emotions to anybody. Everytime I actually do, I feel like they always make it seem small or invalidate me. So I just don't, because I feel like they won't understand what I'm going through, which is why most of my responses to my friends asking me if I'm okay is "yee, i'm fine!! :)". It's also because I don't want to burden them with my problems, I don't want to see them get in my mess because of me because it makes me feel really guilty, especially if they have their own problems to deal with.
So this is why I become sort of a therapist to my friends. I want them to overcome their problems, I give them lots of good advice, and check on them once a week. Because if I don't, I feel like it's my fault that they're struggling because I'm not giving them a hand. I feel guilty because I don't help them, so I just do, even if it hurts me in the process, I want to see them be happy. It's my responsibility to make sure my friends are okay, because who else will check in them? I don't follow my own advice, so I feel hypocritical, and I lie to my friends saying that I'm fine when I'm clearly not. It feels wrong, but it's for the better.
Sorry for the vent, haha, I'm not used to venting to other people or on social media. I usually vent on the Internet because I'm anonymous. Also, thank you for making these videos, Psych2Go, they help me a lot, and I use what I learn from here when I check up on my friends. Thanks a lot!
Same, i'm so used to being the happy and therapeutist friend that i feel uncomfortable feelings negative emotions
Wow that’s not healthy for you though....your friends will survive, and if they are good friends they will remember all the times you supported them and support you too. 💜💜💜
Interesting. I also don't like talking about my feelings but love to listen to people's problem and give them advices if i can. But I don't have that sense of responsibility of other people's mental wellbeing like you do.
Yeah same, this is exactly what I feel
You are a good friend dude
"you hate being asked about your feelings"
It really depends on me. Most people only asked out of curiosity. They don't really care. Only least people asked out of concern
I am curious, how are you feeling right now? XD
I Love that question cause that gives me a chance to rant!!!
I'm feeling really bad these days. Tend to bottle up my feelings. And i keep distancing myself from people :(
Sorry to hear! Have you been doing anything fun lately to counter the mood?

We all have our runaway thing to do. For me it's gaming and going for runs. But it's important to voice our feelings
1:48 All I can think of is that one dog meme surrounded by fire just like "This is fine" :)
Lol.
Same
I think that's what the visual in the video hints at
@@sireregor6633 I tried it.Din't work tho :/
I don't deny my feelings because I would rather they not exist, I deny them because everyone around me has made it clear THEY would rather my emotions don't exist.
The worst part is when you realize the truth, that no one gives one fiddle about you, they only pretend to in order to feel better about themselves.
On some level I am repressing my emotions, but only because I'm not in a position to freely express them unfortunately.
It sucks that it's come to this point when I could freely express them in the past
Same, I hope we all find peace of mind someday.
Same here too☹️
Same, every emotion that I show is held back by my parents.
@@anahitamirzarazi4424 I hope you have other adults or role models in your life that care about you.. enough to be a safe place for venting, etc. That is what saved me during my adolescence (and I still have plenty of problems!).
most of the time I repress my feelings even tho I have the freedom to express my feelings in front of my parents, because I’m afraid no one actually cares about how I feel like one time I was very upset and sad because I had a fight with one of my good friends, and I tried to hint to one of my friends I was unhappy , but she ignored the hints, and I felt hurt she didn’t understand that I needed some comfort so I just stopped hinting and hid how I felt
Sometimes emotions feel too painful to address so we push them away...but it ends up hurting even more when we do that. It’s important to acknowledge and learn to understand and cope with our emotions so we can start on a path to healing ♥️
Indeed. Do you have a video on how to deal with this? We can possibly collab! Email me at tai@psych2go.net :)
Psych2Go I would love to! I will email you :-)
How, am I gonna suffer a mental breakdown or smth lmao
Every time I open up to someone , I always regret that . That's why I rarely talk about my feelings .
when people ask me how i am I just say fine because I don't know how I am, I'm just 'fine'. when I do open up the only thing I get is "stop crying", "its fine", "your being overdramatic", things like that. i don't know what I'm supposed to do with that.
I hate when they tell me my feelings are valued and they care about how I feel and I should open up to them. Then they get mad at me and quit talking to me for days. It's like yep that's why I say I'm fine.
Unfortunately I do this to my friends. They are nice people, but even when they open up I never feel truly connected to them. Sometimes they are overwhelmed and I'm the only one willing to hear, so I hear and comfort them, but then I feel awful for faking a bond and kinda run away when they're already feeling better. I don't have an ideia if it's the case tho.
The last time I was this early I was emotionally stable
Sending you lots of love and support. Are you doing alright?
-P2G Monica
First time being early then?
All of these seems correct to me
Problems that I have:
Trust issues
I hate my body shape
Low self-esteem
You know it's okay I will deal with it-
And the bad thing is I don't even know if I'm depressed because I don't know how that feels like
I exactly related to this. Being the responsible, smart and independent child, no one ever did care if I was alright or not, If I was down or not. Everyone believed that I'll be able to get through it easily or that I'll be able to solve it by myself since I was independent. So I always felt like it is necessary to hide my distress, anxiety or fear because I am always the leader. I have to hide it because it is my responsibility to be the one who would always get the hard stuff because they think that emotionally I am stronger than my friends or siblings. And that even if I did try to give clues that I needed help, they would just ignore it and even sometimes would make me feel bad about having to be sad or doubtful. That and the feeling that I cant do anything wrong, that my work is always either perfect or early since they always count on me. So instead of expressing my emotions, I mask myself witha smile and a goofy and charming personality.
Lmao sorry for the rant, I just wanted to get this out of my chest.
It's okay to let it out every once in a while. I hope you get to feel well saying your emotions and to find the right people. Best wishes!!
The adjective repressed often describes emotions or desires, especially those that could be considered shameful or distressing. When an emotion is repressed, you hold it inside so you don't have to show how you feel. Sometimes you aren't consciously aware that you're doing it👍
Absolutely. May the peace of the Lord be upon you. God did teach "guard your heart", "trust in God alone ","worship God alone ". It is often important to never speak how you feel, just walk away from situations that are not healthy to be in. Love Princess Holly 💎👑💎👑💎🌹🕊🌳🌲🌴🌵🌾🌿☘🍀🌱🍃💚🌳🌲🌴🌵🌾🌿☘🍀🌱🍃💚🌻🌳🌲🌴🌵🌾🌿☘🍀🌱🍃💚
In my case, I am just not very emotional. When I have an emotion, I verbalize it, rather than act it out. I am not very expressive non-verbally either, but that is just me. Not everyone expresses themselves in the same way.
These guys say, "Don't diagnose yourself", but that's clearly the intent of this video. Darn psychologists must have diagnosed the algorithm.
I assume the channel is run by students and faculty, not actual clinical psychologists. The intent is pretty clearly to give you an idea of what's up so that you can determine if you need to see a health professional
I think the purpose is to give a bit of direction to lost people like me lol

@Psych2Go thank you 😊 your videos are the reason I saw a doctor and she’s now helping to deal with anxiety
I'm just waiting till my emotions make me explode and lost control, so I can say I acted like that because I've been bottling up my emotions and have an excuse to open up about everything.
But that moment seems to never arrive, I always manage to calm myself instead of just raging and letting everything out. I just want to break down already...
When people ask you how you’re doing you’re supposed to say “fine”, otherwise you’re avoided like you have the plague.
I’m fine by the way, thanks for asking.

Eh, the world is full of the erzats emotions that people wear, what are you going to do. :P
"tell us about it on the comments below"
But I don't like talking about it :c
And you just did
I started repressing my emotions when I was 8 or so (I'm 15 now)... my parents were divorcing and I had to appear stable in order to not bring more problems (my sister was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the time).
I would never allow myself to cry or feel down, I just bottled everything up. Until this quarantine, when I had a lot of time with myself and my emotions.
They started to come out very aggressively and trust me, it doesn't feel nice. Now I'm slowly trying to talk and communicate more, even though it's very hard, so yeah guys, we're in this together, I believe in you
Me too. Quarantine did help.

Thank you, I know it’s hard but we’re gonna be ok ❤
Listen to “How are You” by Soko Reminded me of this instantly. I laughed at the last one. Because it’s so true. I grew resentment, and always repressed myself because I always put everyone first. Otherwise I would be called selfish amongst other things. I know it’s part of yourself trying to survive and keep going but you will....you will break. My confession here, is that everything I’ve done to help myself this point has been through these videos. I can’t afford health insurance but lately I’ve been reevaluating myself and the damages I’ve been out through. It’s been a scary process. There’s sometimes I still cry. But I want everyone to know, that you have that power too. Change.... Change took me 7 long years. Even more. To start putting myself first, and loving myself with the littlest things. I wanted to thank the makers of their channel, and most certainly tell anyone here that they’re not alone. And that I believe in them too.
"emotional repression" applies differently to different peoples circumstances . people line up to get exploited, people that show weakness get exploited. it is just life. people put up these barriers to mitigate these problems in stead of standing up for themselves and not setting real boundaries. its is a real passive way of dealing with your life. people will betray one another on MANY different levels. yes, repression of emotions can lead to mental instability but so can getting taken advantage of. there is always a reason for why people don't show their emotions, and confiding in other people sometimes IS NOT AN OPTION. the best way to deal with it is, own it. realize that you need to take a stand. take the time to make yourself better. don't be a victim. "don't be a rabbit"
Just casually searching my house for hidden cameras to try and find out how they know me so well. Very disconcerting.
Idk I've always believed ever since I was younger that showing emotion was a sign of weakness and crying in public is an embarrassment. The students in my school would tease anyone who showed emotion and guess what the teachers would say? "Stop being so sensitive, this is why you get teased". I guess that really stuck onto me lmao idk
Yeah, that's what's wrong with the society. We are believed to think crying or showing your emotions is a sign of weakness.
Same, I was a crier now I hide the fact that I cry a lot bedtime I’m ashamed
@@adaon2282 But that's the point Boi! It should be okay to cry! Why is it embarrassing?!
EfiXtra
I cried a lot growing up and was friends with people who could keep their emotions in check, now I didn’t just cry I also ran into a corner and usually caused a lot of trouble for my teachers when I was mad/sad since only my mom could calm me
That’s why I just don’t cry or better said I don’t show when I cry
I used to cry so much as a kid, and it didn’t help that my parents told me to stop everytime. I learned to control my tears. The saddest part is that I realized that my parents are never the ones that comfort me when I’m sad. It’s always an older relative.
I've been looking so long for something like this. The part where you said that "We just push our feelings down because we don't want to experience our past again" hit hard. Thank you for helping me find out. I suffer from a lot of loneliness and I've always just told myself that I should ignore the feelings because they have been much worse in the past, and I should be thankful for the friends and family and "happiness" that I have now.
Once again, thank you so much. I've discovered more about myself than I thought I would when I clicked on the video.
I started crying the moment I heard the first one and I kept crying after hearing all of the other ones because all of it is so painfully accurate.

your video has just helped me realise that this is what i am dealing with, thank you, i am now able to pin point where i am going wrong. im an hsp and i feel everything so deeply but i still manage to hide whenever i have a negative emotion, im scared of losing control emotionally because when i start crying i cant stop, even when im happy crying it turns into a negative crying session, no one ever sees me cry, even my partner of 18 years has only see me cry a few times. i am about to search more of your vids to see if i can get out of this pickle easier.. you're amazing, thank you x
I don't talk about my feelings because the other day I opened up a little to my brother and he said I was being really weird.

With people that understand me and that I’m close to I’m completely open and happy to be vulnerable and talk about my feelings. BUT 🙋🏽 with people I don’t trust or people that I know are trying to get me to open up because they’re trying to hurt me..that’s when I’m more private and will always dodge questions about myself personally. I have to protect myself from those who don’t have my best interests at heart. 🔐 💖✨✨
me: im fine im fine im fine im fine
everyone: you just ate 22 Twizzlers and a box of Oreos
me:......fine.......
Lolll twizzlers were my childhood snacks! What was your childhood snack?

I was crying cause I felt bad about not taking care of myself and being yelled at by my mom for not taking care of myself. I burst out of laughter still in tears. Thank you.
I dont really have weak emotional reactions and other times I feel like burning a tree and beating up people. I have toxic parents and some of these problems I have. I'm an independent person but I have some of these emotional signs.
i grew up with parents that tried so hard to make me emotionally repressed, but i turned into a person who does the opposite lol i love when people express themselves, it shows me they are in touch with their deepest selves, theyre empathetic, and they are trusting. im a prek teacher and if i was emotionally repressive, i feel i could not do my job appropriately and could not address things that need to be addressed, such as getting children to understand their own emotions and how to work with them. when a kid cries in class, it shouldnt be seen as a big deal, just take them into the hallway, talk about how they feel, why they feel it, and how they can manage it, and theyre fine. emotions are like a roller coaster, they can build and build but eventually that pressure will fall, the momentum of ones deepest internal struggles will come crashing down, and all of their thoughts and feelings go all over the place. i realized this when dating my boyfriend who is very emotionally repressive. he will laugh and laugh when i get mad at him, but eventually, i can tell the exact moment when hes about to burst and his emotions come out through sudden rage. its like something snapped inside him. he never cries, hates showing vulnerability, and on the outset, you would think he is just boring with how he describes himself as "a robot". however, i know hes not, because he comforts me when im upset, he does nice things for me, and he shows affection in ways that i realize ive been lacking all my life. i know he has a heart. he just seems to fear showing it a lot of the time. im a very highly senstive person, so i show my emotions very easily. they slip out but i dont care. ive stopped caring. because i hope that the people who are more emotionally repressive will come to trust that there are people out there who wont judge them for simply showing that theyre human. when a baby is born, they cry if they are alive. it just shows us that we are living, and we will be okay.
The worst moment is when there is no one to whom you can open up about your feelings..
Sorry to hear :( have you considered therapy?
@@Psych2go Therapy? Which therapy? Can you tell me about it?
Thats the best feeling. Why the F would you ever want to tell how you feel to someone else? I really get annoyed when ppl unnecessarily budge into my daily life asking how am I doing when things arent going great.
"you don't like being asked how you are"
Isn't that everyone who is depressed?
Somehow this is over 100 likes, thanks guys I appreciate your replies 💜
I don't have depression, but I do have a chronic illness that has me bedridden, so I also feel uncomfortable being asked. If I'm too honest, that just instantly brings down the mood of the conversation. It's one thing if you're having a bad day or something specific happened, but when your answer is always awful... I dunno, I just don't want to be that gloomy person who always brings everyone else down, so I tell half-truths or give vague answers a lot. I'm guessing it's the same for being depressed?
@@sarahstardust yeah you're quite there but obviously since these both are different there are some differences as well
Sarah Stardust how do you deal with it ?
@@_MONI_. yeah I didn't want to assume that it was exactly the same, but we both have very good reasons why we don't like being asked.
@@piyushshah4638 I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. (I have cognitive difficulties so that could just be my fuzzy brain). How I usually answer the question is to frame it relative to my "normal" or just skip it by saying "I'm happy to see you!" So better than normal I might say "pretty good" even though physically I feel like death, and worse than normal I might say "more tired/in more pain/having a flare up, but I'll be okay." Sometimes I'll be super honest because I feel the need to be, but I try to limit how often I get like that and keep it to just my husband, parents, and doctors. I also vlog a little bit about it because I figure that's one way for me to speak honestly about what I'm going through and people can choose whether they want to hear it or not instead of just dumping on them without warning.
I'm currently seeing a psychologist and im happy I came across this video. It gives me hope that I can be " fixed" and not suffer forever with my anxiety due to repressed anger/trauma/emotions. I was talking about things in therapy and my psychologist said I'm on a constant "level " and that I express things like I'm reading a grocery list or something. My emotions have come out in the past as a psychotic episode and im afraid of if happening again. It feels like a demon trying to take over and toxic fiery energy running through my limbs etc. Itsvery scary
People need to feel safe in expressing how they feel without ignorant people assuming they know all the answers, judging or criticizing when they have zero comprehension of how trauma has affected them.
No one:
Literally no one:
Me:first, but then saw comments 3 days ago
Lol!
Good to know I'm not alone lol
Someone: “How are you?”
Me: “Oh goo . . .
*Remembers this video*
“Welllll... let me see, where do I start...”
I’d be like “Well it all started when I was four..” 😂
Yeah. I'm emotionally repressed for SURE. For starters, I never cry. I hate those who do me wrong and passively seethe at everything I don't like about the world. But because what I don't like isn't popular to talk about, I have to bottle my emotions up and I hate myself for thinking a lot of the thoughts I think.
And I always, *ALWAYS* say I'm fine. Because people don't want to hear what I'm actually feeling, all they want to hear is how great everything is.
i love the animations for all your videos, but this one, was exceptionally good. I loved the color tones used. ✨

First to reply to you.
@@Mbrace818 Hahaha good point! thanks for watching our video!
“We would like to thank you for your support”
Me: what for? You expect to help somebody with depression and you think they won’t sub? Your too kind, you better know I sub to you, amazing work with all of your vids, remember to take breaks, if you focus to much on us there’s not a lot of time for yourself, your a one of a kind channel, ty for helping me and countless others
If you are going through this just know that you are not alone and are actually supported. You are loved unconditionally. Learn to process your emotions and cope with them to the best of your abilities. Don't be so hard on yourself when you are confused or having mood swings. You still get through this.
I'm Scared Of Getting Too Close To Anyone, Because Those Who Said That They'll Always Be There For Me..Left
SUMMARY with time stamps:
1. 0:45 You hate being asked how you feel.
2. 1:13 You struggle with emotional intimacy.
3. 1:36 You’re always just “fine”.
4. 2:03 You rarely get emotional.
5. 2:33 You have extremes mood swings.
6. 3:05 You deny all of your problems.
7. 3:30 You hold grudges against people.
I recommend watching the video for more info and details. Have a great day❤️
Not all heroes wear capes.
I’m happy to say that I’ve completely changed my mindset since I started therapy, and all of these examples would’ve correlated with how I dealt with problems. But now, I’ve learned how to deal with all my emotions in the right way. I’m so happy that I’m making progress. Thanks for these vids, they always make me feel better about my progress
which therapy did you take
Great video!! I've been working on expressing my repressed emotions. Something I felt helpful to be aware of is when you may be using another emotion that may feel easier to express to cover up what feels harder to express. For example someone that feels comfy expressing anger may overuse that emotion to cover up others like fear or sadness.
I can't talk about my feelings because I can't often identify what they are, if I'm overwhelmed, it's just a huge mess.
theres a thing called a felling wheel. u start in the center for general categories and then get more specific. theres different versions, but try different ones to see which is useful for u

@@MaheshKumar-cn8ngno, they're time travelers
@@Rodriguo322 ohh my bad. Ain't you ?
I've grown up in, and still live in, a place where showing or expressing your emotions is considered weak. School has taught me that if I don't show any emotion, I won't be messed with or considered weak. Not showing or expressing my emotions for all these years has lead me to being more or less emotionless, even when I don't try to be. I don't get super happy about things, nothing gets me excited anymore, nothing really makes me sad or even disappointed. I'm always just "fine" because that's what I've been taught to show. The most emotion I can get nowadays is just anger, but even then all I know how to do is just let it boil inside me and not let it out properly. But hey, I guess I'm just stuck with it until I move out :/
I have repressed my feelings for long time because I don’t feel comfortable to share my feelings with people. It is also sad that some of the people will use it against you. Recently I have tried to express my feelings more and more because holding it will make me crazy. I’m overthinking constantly and having a really bad time. When you have the need to share your emotion, just share it with people you are close with. Don’t be afraid of someone elses judgement, it is about you. Having feelings is not a crime, it is human. Holding it back and repressing it will only make it worse and as Sigmund Freud said: it will come back in uglier way.
Your very helpful, I can’t talk to people about this because it’s really uncomfortable. Thank you so much 💙
Top of the morning to ya!
Hello there!!
I just never talk about what I feel, especially with my parents, and feel like if I do everyone will view me as hyper reactive and bratty
I hate it when the internet knows about and understands me more than the people around me, including my own parents. I hardly show my emotions, especially anger because it creates an unhealthy environment and my family doesn't like it when I express anger regarding literally anything. So I am basically quiet and unresponsive to things and they like it that way but when I suddenly get very angry (it's like my anger erupts like a volcano, it feels like blasts), suddenly I am the bad person and I feel very guilty afterwards. I hate it so I have distanced myself from people as much as I can
Ahhhhh thissss animator!!!! They did such a good job! Love the style
The last time I shared any _real_ feelings was near the beginning of the pandemic and before that was probably 2 or 3 years ago. (And I only admitted that sometimes my family can be so overbearing and it’s hard tho)
Ya’ll have no idea how hard it is to almost fall asleep and then have a part of yourself call you a name which brings a wave of negative emotions and memories (all I need is to hear the word hypocrite and I can’t sleep.)
The worst part? I can’t tell anyone. I have no idea how people can trust someone to talk to. I can barely trust my cousins for a hug with no tricks.
This describes my ex girlfriend pretty much(we recently broke up). I love her and she’s not a terrible person in reality but a lot of her indifference lead to apathy and I just couldn’t take it anymore. It just damaged the relationship between us and was leading nowhere whenever it gets brought up. I’d like to be with her but there needs to be a change and a decent amount of that is going to have to come from her being able to face herself, her emotions and talking about them
This is interesting! I always knew that I have hard time expressing my emotions. I always wanted to express myself but couldn't because something held me back. I stopped worrying about this since past 6 years. This thing had become my norm - not to express and when I feel I should, it scares me freaking bad - until a friend of mine pointed this out. I am so blessed that he came to my life. I wonder if I can ever release my emotions. Oh God!
Thanks for this; I can talk to others about how I’m going and feeling, but I never actually *show* what I feel, nor can I express it in anything other than words. I feel sad a ton, but won’t cry, even though I actually want to. And the issue is, with what I’m going through in trying to explore my identity, I need to know what my feelings on things are.
One thing this video does not talk about is when your emotions are mocked as a child. When people laugh at you for being angry or upset when you are little - or worse try and make you laugh at yourself this can be very painful and terribly humiliating. I suspect there are families where lack of respect for emotions and mocking strong feelings runs down the generations. The parents mock their chidlrens feelings because their feelings too were not taken seriously either. It is important to put this into context. Behaviour is very different from feelings. There are certain forms of behaviour - especially psychological bullying or physical aggression and other forms of abuse which are simply never acceptable. But feelings are one thing and behaviour is something else. It is important a lot of the time to discipline our behaviour but a feeling is a feeling and is beyond judgement. But how often have we paused before telling people our feelings in case we get judged or preached at (there is nothing worse than preaching at the converted if you are one of the converted and someone addresses you as an ignoramus) One thing I think that is important to remember is that if you love someone then that is your right. It is not for anyone else to judge you or tell you to get over it or that you should not be feeling this way because it is silly and they don't love you and you don't really know them. If there is a planet where romantic love is logical it is not this one. You can be very aware your feelings are not logical but you cannot switch them off like a light switch. All you can do if the situation is very dire and they are with someone else in a serious relationship is remove yourself from the situation and keep as busy as possible. But it is about self compassion. Not spoiling yourself - but self compassion. Then eventually the feelings will subside. Of course if you love someone that does not mean that you can behave towards them just as you choose. If you do love someone who does not love you then treating them and their wishes and the wishes of their partner with utter respect is the most constructive thing to do. But to feel love towards someone - that is a right. Let no-one mock you or put you down because of it - or preach things at you that you are already supremely aware of.
I implore you all to write down all your lies to yourself and try to own them,so they stop owning you.
But what if you no longer know which are lies and which are truths? I need help on that...
@@kassiaactuallydraws9361 not really sure,i got this from updog,and sorry man im not that smart on depression related things.

thanks for bringing back a meme with "this is fine"
What other memes would you like us to feature? :)
@@Psych2go I dont know a lot of memes so its really on you. Im pretty sure you can guys can come up with something awesome like always. :)
I stopped opening up to people and it genuinely made things better
Just wanted to say to everyone working to make Psych2Go, in my opinion, you're "THE" best channel on youtube.
Very good topics. Consistent video uploads. Relaxing voices. The little animations you come up with are fun and cute. Also great information, in a short amount of time. Thanks for everything you all do on here!
When CZcams is just dragging me at this point.
I usually answer with “fine” when people ask “How are you?”, because first, the phrase is a *greeting* and not an invitation to unload on people, and second,I don’t want to be perceived as whining about every little thing.
The animation for this video was so cool definitely a favorite so far 😊
It's really awesome content which help so many parents to make their children live smother. I am big fan of you. Lots of love to the entire psych2go team. Thanks you
I feel like psych2go keeps attacking me with all the recent vids bc I can relate so much :(
"you deny all of your problems"
Me: nah that's not a problem
Great Video... EMOTION is just Energy in Motion. I wish there are more videos teaching kids how to express anger healthily and not suppressing it.
Love these new visuals!
When you feel bad emotionally, change your thoughts and visualize some good memories. After that, your emotions change too :) This helps to avoid unnecessary crying.
( looks into the title of the video)
Me: Google's, is youtube stalking me
🤣
Scroogle : yes, but we're convenient. ;o)
@Muchinoi No... ScroogLe... (not a typo)...
Here, let me help you out. Read the following OUT LOUD :
Google
Scroogle
you'll figure it out... ;o)
@Muchinoi Pay some attention... Do you even value your private info???
Google tracks everything you do... to the absolute (and frankly, scary) ability they've got... They then take that information and sell it outright to anyone with a bid... AND even if they supposedly resist court-orders, they'll sell it to law enforcement... so that funky moment your curiosity got the better of you... yeah, some cop in Maryland, U.S. probably knows about it...
SO your getting SCREWED everytime you Google anything... SO "Scroogle"... Go ahead, and "Scroogle it"... be my guest. AND "Scroogle yourself" while you're at it.
There are alternatives... "Duck duck go" for example... BUT you have to change your browser and seek out those.
Google gives so much for "convenience", supposedly making the web more convenient... but it's convenient enough on it's own... They just keep you addicted to their particular apps...
Try alternativeto.net and start duck duck go-ing stuff... you'll find your results only slightly less personalized, but you can avoid getting sold like a piece of furniture... ;o)
@Muchinoi Um... no, for the greater portion, they're not... It's not a lot of effort to "not be low hanging fruit"... For us private citizens, that's really all the effort it takes...
AND how do you figure I'm pissed? I could NOT care less how much you let Google SCREW YOU... Look, in the information age, YOUR information is a gold mine... I get PAID for mine... period.
Sure, the end result is you and I are both tracked online. That's a moot point. The difference is, I ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY by being online... and you just do whatever and get nothing from it... good luck with that.
Like I said... (and I'm not helping any further, protecting my own assets)... alternativeto,net is a fine thing...
Scroogle isn't you screwing anything... it's Google straight F***ing YOU up the ass for something they should at least pay a pittance for. Goodluck with that... ;o)
I absolutly love this video🤗🌺!. Love the colors, design and explanations💕
I really enjoyed that you could explain the surface issue of emotional repression. I do have long term underlaying issues which I keep away from others that don’t understand. I do find it very difficult to deal with people that I find Angry and Hateful…those kinds of toxic behaviours I can’t be around as I become super anxious and get sick to my stomach.
