Authenticity / Emotions

Agnia

it is very important to give yourself space and permission to feel all emotions, every emotion is important, when we feel sadness, when we feel joy, when we feel anger and to give yourself the right and space to feel and name our emotions ,

and to find a safe way to express our emotions for example taking or writing to a trusted person or writing them on a piece of paper what we feel, people who suppress their emotions for years they end up sick sometimes with a very serious illness, someone said that people will come into my life for whom my always being nice will not be a necessary condition for maintaining and existing relationship, and it’s not about me being arrogant or rude, they will also accept my shadow , and true love comes when we are real and not perfect.

That's very true @Agnia, it's important to feel things properly and not push away your emotions. Always best to be your authentic self ☺️

Agnia

@Rosie_Scope Yes.

a lot of unexpressed emotions stuck in the human body they cause immunological and autoregressive illnesses

that is so true people should be able to unmask and be their authentic selves. I work in a workplace where we provide support workers to ensure people can get into work and stay in work. Our boss is all about this at work she is always encouraging us to be our authentic self's at work

For some reason I struggle with emotions and understanding emotions all my life. I can't read other peoples emotions, and I don't know how I am feeling at any given time. I always act the same regardless.

People before have described me as like a psychopath, but I know right from wrong and feel guilt if I do something wrong. When I was younger and had my autism assessment I had to do something where I had to describe how a person was feeling from pictures of faces and eyes. I think I got every one wrong and scored 0 in this. Its just something I have always struggled with.

authenticity, is not being afraid to show my weakness, and even crying in front of others, i was told not to pretend and to pull myself together and to go to work , i remember when i sat on the floor and put almost all my clothes in a black garbage bag and threw them away , i was standing in front of the refrigerator in the supermarket completely clueless about what to choose to eat and it wasn’t just indecision, there were days when i had absolutely nothing to eat at home and had money for food

being authentic in a relationship with another person means trusting someone and entering them into the sphere of our personal emotions.

Trusting anyone can become impossible if you've had trust broken enough times. I don't trust anyone in this world, but I don't dislike people either.

I found a happy compromise. I'm very lucky that I'm able to talk to anyone, so I fulfil my social needs by chatting to strangers or occasionally having a good night out with strangers. Like I've said before though, if they try to actually get to know me I cut them out my life.

I do feel guilty about that sometimes. A few weeks ago someone said they'll always consider me a friend. I blocked them and haven't spoken to them since. However it's entirely out of my control so there's nothing I can (or want to) do about it. It hurts a bit though because I do have a massive amount of empathy that I try (and fail) to suppress.

I deal with my own negative emotions internally. I would never show weakness to another human, I never ask for help and I won't accept help.

I can speak about this easily because I really know and understand myself.

I exist to help other people. To brighten their day, because I am a genuinely kind and warm hearted person and I do really like people in general. However I've been through so much that I have zero tolerance any kind of controlling or manipulative behaviour from anyone. People can't control or manipulate me if I don't let them know me.
