Your True Emotions

John B. Marine | September 27, 2019 | | | | |
How are you doing? You're doing great? Good! Are you saying that because you actually are doing great or because you are hiding your true feelings? Admit it- you are probably hurting inside and don't want to share your true emotions. Maybe you feel you will get treated differently because you are hiding something that will draw a negative reaction. What you say and who you talk to will draw different reactions from others. So you are very careful as to what you actually tell people. Sometimes, the death of a certain individual or getting out of the shadow of some people will allow you to better express your emotions and your own true feelings. No matter what, this blog post is all about showcasing your true emotions. What holds us back in showing how we really feel? Does it hurt to show our true emotions? I will attempt to address both of these matters in this blog post.






Your True Emotions


Everyone has emotions, and everyone chooses to express themselves any way they choose. This is true whether you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert. How you deal with such emotions determines on how you handle your true emotions. Let's talk to some extent about your true emotions and whether or not (and how) to exhibit your true emotions.


Why Do We Hide Our True Emotions?

There are a number of reasons why we tend not to share our emotions with others. For one, we may not trust some people we are around to share our issues. It is possible some people will do nothing more than exploit and expose our issues rather than try to help treat certain issues. It is also possible that someone who has actual issues may not get the needed help with their problems with some people he/she is around. Rather than feeling someone will get the needed help with their issues from individuals around him/her, the person would rather just keep their emotions in. Therefore, people are not so reluctant to share their true feelings to some people.

It is also true certain emotions we have will make us seem weak in the face of others. Like, someone who is fussy and whiny will be seen as a "pussy" to some people. If someone really feels down and wants to be better, they need to be with people who feel they can trust to feel better. So being able to share your true emotions can be a very important thing to help you feel better. You know you are hurting inside for real if you tell people you are doing just fine. Even if you try to sell being something you are not, you may end up doing more damage than feeling your best.

While choosing to keep in emotions from people we know and love, the emotions can fester into something where it breaks people down slowly. Therefore, it is important to...


Let It All Hang Out!

Keeping in your emotions can be unhealthy. It adds extra stress to try to keep in your emotions rather than let them out. Even if your emotions are violent or toxic, you have to let out your emotions so that they don't slowly deteriorate your life and livelihood. So it is best you let someone know you are not feeling good if you are truly not your best state of mind. Allow yourself to be patient to get whatever kind of guidance or help needed. Even if the needed help is for something comical or something more serious, people need to be stable again regardless of whatever bothers that person.

I am reminded of a fashion blogger whom I've followed for a number of years when discussing this topic. She experienced a situation earlier this year that led her to feeling down on herself and facing some tough decisions on how to go about life after this incident. This blogger even adopted swearing and using some bad language. Though she is generally classy, this fashion blogger felt the need to use such bad language simply to let out her emotions. All this is about is trying to let out your emotions in a healthy way... even if it involves having certain characteristics you are not known for having.


Should You Exhibit Your True Emotions to Others?

Some people will find the perfect moment to explain true emotions one has. Some people will not want to share how they truly feel unless the time is right or unless they feel they must immediately share their feelings with others. It is always better to share your feelings rather than keep them in for an extended amount of time.


After Sharing True Emotions... Now What?

If it is something that prompts change or immediate action, this is a time to work with someone and gain some sort of understanding. If someone was sincere about whatever has bothered an individual, this is a chance to understand and work with someone to help that person feel better. Be attentive and understanding. Especially if someone needs help, it is best to try to work with that person to try to help sort out whatever issues the individual may be having.


What If You Have No One to Share Emotions With?

You may be alone and have certain issues you have in you. If there is no one to help you share your emotions with, you are probably on your own to try to deal with your own issues. You may need to consult healthcare professionals or other qualified individuals if you are in crisis or in need of some help with your emotions. Perhaps you may need to engage in online counseling and online therapy. Regardless, we always say that you are not alone.


I now want to focus on individual situations.




Your True Emotions in Various Situations


Here is a closer look at expressing yourself with various talking points. Some of these issues could be expressed better in


Room to Vent.

Even if people have emotions that you fail to understand or care about sharing, you have to find some sort of medium to share emotions. Some people share their real feelings in person or on social media. People need to vent often times.



Parent-Sibling Feelings.

A parent may be frustrated with his/her child(ren) that the parent wants to have a talk with his/her child(ren). Wanting to show those emotions to children has to be done in a healthy way so that one doesn't end up harming the child(ren) for a long time. Something to be fearful of is to not get overly violent trying to get your message across to children. If discipline is called for, make sure not to get abusive or violent with children. Some parents often overstep their boundaries and start spanking or getting emotionally into their children. Be careful of this and remember- those children have the rest of their lives ahead of them, and you wouldn't want to jeopardize their future in a negative sense.

On the other hand, a child may be frustrated with his/her parent(s) that the child wants to share his/her true feelings to his/her parents. Some children actually feel their parents are not real parents. For example, one child may feel a certain parent or family member is so hated by that child because that parent or family member was never there for that person. A child may also dislike a family member who possibly treats someone near and dear to the family wrong.

It is imperative to have a healthy bond between parents and siblings to keep families together and happy.


True Love Feelings.

It is possible one's true emotions can involve actually wanting to start a relationship or engage in some sort of romantic activity. As much as I've shown off true feelings among others, this is a more different scenario. Someone's true love feelings with someone he/she loves can mean the person wants to start a family or wants to be romantically involved with his/her partner. If it comes down to wanting to strengthen a loving bond, activities need to be planned. Perhaps start dating more or start enjoying entertainment more together. If true emotions involve intimacy with someone, arrange for a time to actually get intimate with each other.

You probably want to be careful with this, because there is a chance you could really creep somebody out if you have certain loving feelings or romantic interests with others. Not everyone will accept your romantic feelings you may have for someone. Some others may want nothing to do with you ever again. So be careful expressing these emotions to some people if you honestly and truly have any sort of romantic interest that won't escalate to something like date rape, domestic violence, or anything.


LGBT+ Emotions.

This topic involves a handful of emotions and thoughts. Someone may truly want to engage in some sort of LGBT love or intimacy. A person may have kept in feelings of wanting to date or possibly marry a same-sex partner. Someone may secretly want to engage in crossdressing. Someone else in LGBT possibly has feelings of wanting to have a sex change. These emotions can be as gripping as almost any other emotions that are kept in by others. Trying to release these emotions and trying to be understood for them can be a daunting task. It is also possible people could hurt or destroy certain bonds with others because of LGBT concerns. Even though LGBT matters have become more acceptable in recent years than in the past, there are still many people who have all sorts of animosity and hate towards anything LGBT or LGBT related. Acceptance is not as easy with these matters as with any other.

True emotions can also mean you exhibit behavior outside of gender norms or if you act in ways different from what society considers normal or sane for males and females alike. A male may be someone who enjoys things normally females enjoy, or they may even identify and act as females. That male may still mostly be a male but enjoy certain female things. Likewise, there are a number of females who mostly like what a lot of males do. Some females would even prefer dressing masculine rather than wear things like high heels, dresses and skirts, makeup, or things like that. Such females would then enjoy being tomboys. Also, there are males and females alike who have so many different traits that they feel they do not entirely fall under being all-male or all-female. So enter the genderqueer or gender neutral individual. After all, there are males who wear pink and like all things cute and/or beautiful. There are females who enjoy wearing girly clothing but not afraid to get into intense sports playing or taking on difficult occupations like construction working. Some such people do not have someone to really share such emotions with often times.

LGBT matters involving gender can be a loaded subject. Most people would cringe at the thought of a male wanting to wear lingerie, skirts and dresses, lipstick, and things like that. Some males and females feel they were born in the wrong body or have some other kind of gender dysphoria. Especially in the case of being transgender, it can be tough to exhibit trying to be someone different. It isn't as easy as going to your favorite retail store and buy clothing opposite of your birth gender.


Time now for some final thoughts.




Your True Emotions: Final Thoughts


It is best to truly tell people how you really feel, even if you do not entirely trust you will get the sort of reaction from other people. You are better off letting your emotions out rather than bottle them inside of you. This is stress relief that can often times be a call to action or a cry for help. Releasing these emotions can make a vast difference moving forward no matter what emotions are being stored in. If there is no one who can help you with your true emotions, you may need to find some sort of counseling with healthcare professionals or other qualified individuals.

Once such emotions are released, it is best to try to be patient in trying to help someone feel better. It takes understanding and care to help someone deal with their issues. Don't compound or worsen the situation by being hateful and mean to that person. People have aspirations, dreams, and have some sort of livelihood. Let us try to preserve these elements for the betterment of others rather than damage or destroy them.


Try to share your emotions in positive and healthy ways if you can with others. If you need help or some sort of consolation, make sure to find loving and trusting people to help you feel better.
