Some random thoughts on introversion, feelings and emotions, and relationships in general. Topics are going to be mixed together, but I trust you can sort them out. Part 2 Displaying your emotions communicates to people who you are. It is an intimate aspect of yourself, and it is crucial that you and others feel at ease sharing your feelings and emotional states. Obviously, there is a fine-line between communicating your emotions in order to connect with people, and doing that in order to manipulate people. I shall share some of my thoughts on how to detect and define this fine-line and illuminate when unhealthy displays are occurring. The most important thing is to not forget the purpose of displaying emotions and feelings, which is to communicate and connect with others and give them a window into your soul by letting it be known what matters to you and how you think and feel. And insofar that displays of emotions stay true to that purpose, then this is a healthy interaction. And so, reciprocity is a vital aspect of the process. If one person feels that they can freely express their feelings while the other does not, this is a significant sign that something has gone astray. Ask yourself: Do I feel safe sharing what I feel when my partner (or friend/boyfriend/girlfriend/lover) expresses their emotions? - If not, this could be a sign that your partner is using their emotions as a weapon against you. Also, ask yourself: Do I give my partner the confidence that they can share their emotions honestly and transparently? - If not, you might be either willingly or unwillingly forcing your partner to tone down their expression of what they feel is important to them. Expecting others to attend to every emotional whim a person has is a sign of being completely self-absorbed. Why is it that they feel that their emotional states are more important than others emotional states? If they express being upset about something, and dont give others a chance to express what upsets them, then obviously this is not an equal relationship. And so, this is a matter to be taken extremely seriously, and not be carelessly overlooked. Part 1: https://facebook/zaidgs1/posts/314842755387994
