The point of not reacting is, “we can still feel emotions, but it’s important we don’t let them dictate our actions into doing and saying things that we’ll regret later”

[sandiletwala]

Yeah my silence is not a weakness. 90% of the time I control my emotions and accept whatever I endure and move on as much as possible

[samuelrobles]

Emotions are not a weakness but being at their mercy is. When you can feel without succumbing to their whims, you achieve a power you have never known

[mane]

Please be careful with people that are manipulative. You don't have to "understand" them or feel empathy. You are entitled to your emotions. Just try to not let negative feelings effect you too much. Don't give those people this power ❤

I recall a time when an angry woman got in my face and insulted, emoted and basically lost it. I never lost eye contact and listened until she ran out of breath. Then I stayed calm and said "thank you". Not rude, mean or with emotion. The war was over and she walked away. One of the most powerful things I've ever experienced. Win/win. 🎉👍🏻🙏🏻

Severe Snape: “Control your emotions, Discipline your mind!!”

This happens to me a lot with people who only come to me to make disrespectful comments towards me, usually about my appearance or some other things to mock me.

I remind myself that they are projecting to make themselves feel better, plus trying to get a reaction. I show who I am by choosing not to react and staying calm in those situations

There’s a saying that goes, “The best response to a fool is no response at all” and it’s true. Since learning to master my emotions, I’ve noticed an increase in people trying to provoke reactions out of me and how upset they get when I don’t acknowledge it.

I think some clarification would help. Not reacting isn't the same as 'not feeling'. But rather feeling with intent first, then responding appropriately.

I love the Inside Out thumbnail. I used to lose my temper more frequently, but I've since taken up Tai Chi, yoga and meditation, and found that they've helped me become less reactionary.

3:27 This is a very practical use of not reacting. There is a flagpole in our front yard. My brother who is significantly more physically fit than I, couldn't get himself to go up a ladder that was leaning up against the pole for the sake of stringing it. The pole moved as he climbed the ladder and he just couldn't do it. Before our father was able to start to climb the ladder, I stepped in and told him I would do it. He was skeptical to put it mildly. I was able to go all the way up the ladder and string it. I was able to do that because I am aware of my own emotions and chose to not give in to the fear of falling.
Being aware of your emotions is useful in everyday life.

emotional Intelligence or emotion EQ is vital

[s.u.s.a.n.a]

A covert and vulnerable narcissist is a master of silent treatment. A pause is fine but silence can be a weapon, really damaging of self-esteem. Not every silence is self-control. Silence can be very manipulative.

[kheleecebrown]

It's hard when people are disrespectful to control those emotions. I usually walk away.

[equaloskat]

I got laid off from my job and I didn’t cry but my other coworker who got laid off did… I’m usually a crier but in a professional setting I kept calm. And in this situation I can’t do anything about it anyway. I was just trying to take it all in and process it, HR said I was “taking it well” just cause I didn’t cry? I’m not going to react in a work environment. I also had to comfort my crying coworker too even tho we were in the same situation. Nobody asked me how I was doing.

[grace_koh]

Whenever I get triggered, I asked myself, why am I upset, is it my childhood trauma? It really took me years before I could pull myself back and ask the right questions. And often, by the time I'm done, I've calmed down and able to communicate without having outbursts.
