How Do You Express Your Feelings?

It really depends on my mood. If I'm happy and calm, I'll be honestly modest, meaning I will tell people what they need to hear without making anything cold. If I'm angry, I'll belt everything out with my best attempts not to swear or say anything too cutting.

 

I express my feelings by.....

....
...
...

Oh that's right, I don't.

I don't have the convenience of 'someone to talk to' and even if I did I'm like my dad in that it just feels incredibly awkward and I try to avoid it as much as possible.

 

It all depends on how I am. If I am happy then I am the most jolly and energetic person around. If I am sad I withdraw within myself and I refuse to speak unless it is absolutely necessary, though that never lasts long as my closest friend is very empathic and always manages to get out of me what is wrong. And after speaking about it I am back to my jolly self
Now if I am angry or in a bad mood...Well it is usually best to avoid me like the plague. I try not to leave the house when I am feeling like that as I scare myself. Last time I was angry (rarely ever happens) I was about 14 and I tried to kill someone, I only stopped as a teacher pulled me of the other person. But it takes a hell of alot to get me to that point. The only reason I got like that then was due to this person's consistent bullying and I just cracked.

 

Bottling them all up inside has always worked pretty well for me. And by "well" I mean I haven't had a complete mental breakdown and burnt down a Walmart yet.

 

Same here.

 

Depends

what kind of feeling

Feelings associated in happiness usually boost my mood and people usually notice it

If its derived from anger i channel it to working out in gym and sometimes using swearword and other foul language will do

If it roots from Disappointment and Betrayal i showed it by refusal to do further help or assistance in the future. Or i abandon the person immediately, turning from friends to like "i barely know him/her".

and many other way, very different depends on the source and the nature of the feeling

yeah i'm complicated
please ignore
arfff

 

I talk to my mom on some issues pretty openly; gay stuff is not one of them :lol:.

Other than that, though, I do bottle up a lot to the point that my mom knows and says I am worse than my grandfather and father when it comes to keeping emotions inside, and that actually says a lot.

 

Burial or booze, backhanded or blow up

 

Pretty much the same but I only bottle up my sadness. When I'm angry I make it known and when I'm happy people usually notice. I find that music helps me, since it is easy to find a song that relates to what I'm feeling or the situation I'm in.

 

I'm on the same train. Nobody to talk to about personal feelings. Just pretend they don't exist.

 

sorry i wasn't programed to be influenced by artificial emotions.

 

I curse a lot.

 

Internally. :lol:

 

Through something productive, like writing or doing something physically active. I also use humor to let off some steam, which really helps.

I also try to make somebody else feel better in some way, because this usually leaves me feeling better myself. It's a win-win.

Sometimes through actions. If I hand/toss you a piece of candy, you're okay. If I hand/toss you a pack of candy, you're cool. But if I hand/toss you a pack of your favorite candy, you're special. If it isn't candy, then just something, like a kind word or a listening ear.

I can only speculate what I'd be like in a romantic situation, but it's safe to say, I'd be about the random hugs and before-bed massages.

 

Happy feelings, I outwardly express by dancing, smiling, hopping around like an idiot, or telling people I'm in a good mood. Any other feelings are kept inside until I can't hold them anymore, then I explode. They usually come out in the form of crying, yelling, punching things, or a combination.

 

Through music, or writing. If I get too overwhelmed I don't even express them I just take a nap (if I can)

 

With a slight smile

 

At my best, my happy feelings are contagious. It's easy when I'm talking. I usually have that damn neutral expression, if I'm lost in thought.

I used to write down my terrible feelings, on paper, and burn/shred it. Nowadays I usually tell my "depression" that it gets 5 minutes or less because I'm too busy being awesome. You might think this approach is crazy but it works. Especially over time as you develop more emotional strength.

A little setback is simple enough to fix. I can put that roadbump into perspective by forcing myself to do something fun, even if I don't feel very enthusiastic. For example, video games.

More intense or persistent negative feelings require introspection. If I just listen to music then it's only a distraction and it might create negative associations. Sometimes it is best that I isolate myself. Otherwise, I lash out and shout at people because they make the slightest mistakes. I'm much better at dealing with anger than I used to be, but it's still a noteworthy concern.

 

It depends. When it's way too bad for me I talk to someone, when it's moderate I just let the other person know that. Sometimes I just let people know without having any control about it through my behavior and/or facial expressions.
