The hardest thing with discussing how a person emotion is like, it's the fact that they're still trying to figure how how they feel about their emotions and how they're trying to find a way to talk about that vocally and express it correctly.

One of the problems I ran into the in the past was that a girl was trying to figure out her own emotion, so I was even more confused than her because she couldn't explain it to me in a way I could understood it. It just created many more problems in the long term because we couldn't even communicate on a level that we could understand each other.

Meditation has been helping me with this, I’m slowly getting better at being present with my emotions and finding their true name. It hard but it can be done!

Man just described why is almost impossible to hold discussion about emotions, with a woman.

It seems so obvious once stated aloud, but it really can be very counterintuitive lol. This channel is how I learned of the term "alexithymia" which has been a very valuable tool for me & helped me a lot with framing & addressing my lack of emotional self-awareness. It's good stuff to think about. Mindfulness cannot be rated highly enough lol

We know how we feel but we Dare to say it, since we already buried deep with a lot of layer of what happened if we say it out loud

Love your YouTube channel @HealthyGamerGG I’d also like to comment and say, have a discussion about our emotions with the right people, a lot of people suck at listening or play power games / will use vulnerability against you even if they come as your friend. I saw something on Psychology today that people become more introverted as they get older - due to how easily gossip can spread or people being burned/ annoyed by others in life I’m personally not surprised. Anyways, love the content and your takes on life/ psych topics.

Emotions my old therapist tried the very hard to explain me the difference between true emotions and false emotions.... I still don't get it.

I think it can helpful to be aware of my negative emotions and communicate to other people if they are acting unfairly towards me first, before I get angry
