What do you do with your feelings?

You write about feelings...

Feel everything, feelings show you what you need to work on.

All sides of your personality "happy/sad, excited/bored, popularity/loneliness, strength/weakness, , smart/dumb" these things are barometers, use them.

Bored? - see dumb...
Dumb? - its too late for you, use a rubber, and wash your hands when you're done.
Lonely? - you have friends, don't go out?
Sad? - someone die, lost your job?
Weak? - work out, don't have the time?

Notice how the positive side has no recourse, for the positive all we need to do is continue to build...that is the path you should be working on, the saying goes, "Play to your strengths!"

Those of us who seem more up beat we are this way because long before these negative shitty feelings show up, we're already moving to what will make us happier.

No one knows what you're going through...here we may have an idea...a link to a probable brutal truth, and its a lot to carry if you still care about feelings.

Feelings...the trouble with feelings are you can't trust them. Your "hamster" is letting you think you need to address these feelings, but all you need to do is evaluate how they may make you act/act out...after your evaluation, you address them as best YOU see fit.

Do yourself a favor - feel them all, study them. When you get through the feelings, you will begin to reason.

DO NOT GET HUNG UP ON FUCKING FEELINGS EXCLAMATION POINT !

Feelings can be exploited, that alone makes it a weakness.

You need to learn to control your feelings, that is expressly against the point of keeping a journal.

Well, what's a journal for? thank the gods you asked...

Journals are a tool to measure your past self from your present self...you put your objective thoughts in a journal, OBJECTIVE THOUGHTS. These writing should never have feelings, "to thine one self be true"

A feeling is a chemical reaction...objective reasoning is what goes into your Journal.

Don't ever keep a diary, that's for chicks...do keep a journal, track your knowledge in all things.

Drink | Smoke till this makes sense

One more thing - I get that you want some help on what to do with your feelings, most do. You have to learn for yourself which feelings are worth keeping, and which are not...this decision is on you.

TLDR: letting the negative direct you is for lame ass bitches.

Start running. After a couple months your workouts become more meditation than exercise.

I talk about them with a therapist

I lift and meditate

I ride a motorcycle, or play video games. Having something to focus on keeps my mind on point until the things I am concerned about no longer seem like a big deal.

I think I'd been fapping my feelings away for the last 10 years... as well as drowning them away in other addictions (don't do this). Everytime I'd share feelings with chicks I felt punished or unattractive. Pushed me down a terrible spiral.

Great thread. Thx
