Emotions. Is being emotional, dramatic even a bad thing? --- if you constantly blame yourself for being too much, too sensitive, too reactive- i feel you. Cuz I've been there and done that, and i have something to say. Firstly, I think it's kinda wrong how we decided that emotional expression is weakness.Tears are embarrassing. Outbursts are immature. Passion is “too much.” But why? From the very beginning of our lives, crying was proof of existence, proof that we are ALIVE. Our first language wasn’t words, It was emotion. So we should never be ashamed for simply being humans!!!!! Because feeling deeply is to be alive. That's a proof that you are IN your life,not just chillin and watching it from a safe emotional distance. To love passionately, to be hurt deeply, to react honestly is to refuse emotional numbness which takes A HUGE courage. Secondly, speaking about it from more psychological angle, it is known that people who tend to be dramatic are actually emotionally mature and intelligent. Why? Because emotions are meant to move through us. They rise, peak, and fall just like waves. When you cry when you’re sad, laugh when you’re happy, shake when you’re angry, you’re letting your nervous system complete its natural cycle. Suppression, on the other hand, is when emotions don’t disappear but just go underground. And supressed emotions always come back later, being louder, heavier, and more painful than before. Being “dramatic” doesn’t mean you feel too much, girlie. It means you feel honestly. You notice emotions when they arrive instead of pretending they aren’t there. You let your body speak instead of forcing it into silence. That isn’t weaknes at all, it's actually a strength cuz it's called emotional awareness. And awareness is the first step toward emotional intelligence. What I'm trying to say, is that please know that you are not alone. If you're kind of person who cries easily, loves intensely, reacts loudly, please don't be ashamed of your humanity. Don't be afraid of being emotional mess, be afraid of becoming an emotionless, heartless robot instead🤍
