Emotions

[Pratiksha]

As years have passed I have realised I have changed so much. All the experiences, they could be it bad or good mold us everyday.

I just realised that certain similar situations I face once in a while which would have made me burst into tears or emtions/feelings that would have made me vulnerable to over-senisitivity of the situation no longer exist. I just dont feel them any more.

I was just analysing one such situation which I have had to face time and again; it no longer bothers me. I dont feel the pinch of it at all. Was it my subconscious effort of slowly killing those emotions. Did I do it unknowingly to protect myself?! Who knows but yes I have changed a lot.

I have retained my most of myself as is. But there are some places where I have realised I have changed; changed for good perhaps.

How about you guys? Have you felt like this?

Simple. You are growing up. :D

[echarcha]

You need to analyse every situation like this

1) Do I care?
2) What the fuck would it mean to me personally if I ignored the situation?

If you can answer the above two honestly to yourself, you know if you want to continue being bothered.

You have to, at times, be very selfish and think of "I, ME, MYSELF" and forget that stupid line from books "YOU, WE, US".

Growing up is one thing. But not to feel anything at all is something different. I could easily cry let go of what I feel and yet behave in the same mature manner. But here I am unperturbed. Unruffled by the gravity of the situation and how it could affect me.

I guess I must have done this exercise umpteen number of times earlier. Cause now my reaction to it is not more than a sigh! I faced it and started to work the very next minute as though nothing just happened.:dontknow:

That kind of scares me. Thinking logically all the time, and letting all these emotions freeze in some remotest corner of my brain-cells.

Emotions are nothing but hormones.

And as you age the domination by hormones start receding.

I always wonder why people react to some situation which is not so hot to handle but for them it looks like the end of the world,I have seen people unable to forgive even their loved ones.Further analyzing made me believe its the hormones which plays a vital role in most of these case,ofcourse these are not my theory but dont remember where I read them.

Now it remains a subject of debate for me if its an excess of some hormones or lack of some which makes a person emotional,violent,loving/caring etc.

Ditto here. :)

Some emotions start getting atrophied while some others become hypersensitive. Specially true about insults.

echarcha does this to all... immature people create ids and sign in here... and a year later... tada... they are all mature and grown up:D

You see, the various viewpoints... the various thoughts... the various angles to the same idea you get here affect your everyday normal life. An analogy would be like, in the old days... the old doordarshan days, there used to be 1 movie a week. So, you would see the movie and then think about the movie for the rest of the week. The movie would have a lasting effect on you... lasting for at least a week. Nowadays you see multiple movies a day... and the sad result is, none of them leave any effect on you. You see a movie... and you instantly forget all about it.

Similarly, in the old days something would happen... and you would think about it for days... crying and all. Nowadays so many things happen a day... mostly at echarcha... that before you think of crying over it, something else has happened.

Good analogy. But it has nothing to do with EC. It is just plain life. Human life which has this complex brain with complex wiring that causes us to think emotionally also.

But yes the movie analogy is true. It is similar to the ants that infest my house during spring time. If I feed them the same ant-bait they grow immune to it. :dontknow:

You see, it is the varied thoughts at echarcha that allow you to look at any problem from different angles... instead of the one single viewpoint that you would have held earlier that would have caused you to burst into tears... at the drop of a hat.
