Sweet Things & Deviant Thoughts

I cry when I’m really, really angry. It’s the exact opposite of how I want that anger to be expressed…and it just makes me angrier šŸ¤£šŸ™ˆ

And this might be one of the reasons I rarely allow myself to get angry šŸ˜
Same! I cry harder because I want to hurt them for seeing my weakness. šŸ˜¬šŸ˜…

This is me!!! But I still get angry šŸ˜‚

In fact, like Kristen Bell explained on Ellen at one point.
If I’m not between a 3-7 on the emotional scale I’m crying. šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚

I’m the opposite and am extremely even keeled with a heavy lean on laughing instead šŸ˜

And if I get angry enough to cry, there’s some self-reflection going on to figure out why I wasn’t able to communicate and resolve things before they got that far.

I don’t think anger or extreme emotions are bad at all. Your feelings are your feelings. I’ve just found that while they’re insightful cues, extreme expressions rarely benefit the situation and instead can kick things into a bad spiral.

I don’t mind if it’s my personal life because if I care enough to get that upset, you really matter to me. It’s ok to see me be real.

Where I really hate it is in professional settings. Thankfully it’s never hit me in person, but the thought aloneā€¦šŸ˜¬

You're so well adjusted. #goals
A male friend here is helping me with open communication instead of expecting people to read my mind.

I don't think I have angry cried at work. I have exhausted cried and said "you're killing me!" šŸ˜‚ Maybe I should shutup now. 😬

And you’ve got a cute laugh soā€¦šŸ˜Œ

This is very important internal work that I have not done. šŸ™ˆ
I find I’m not in tune with my feelings or ever know what I want which can be very problematic.

So very true!

That is awesome! It’s not easy to recognize patterns you want to change and then put in the effort! šŸ„°šŸ«‚

Nah, real talk is one of the best things about Lit!

I’m glad that some people think so because I would get annoying really fast otherwise 🤭

I can see where that would be a challenge :D

Maybe start small and try to name them and admit them to yourself when they’re not overwhelming.
So very true!

I’m sending hugs because that might be my worst nightmare šŸ«‚ Tied with karaoke, of course 🤣

we are a very small operation and close thankfully. Not corporate lol

I so want to go to karaoke with you! I’m more of a rent a karaoke room vs perform but
Who am I kidding, I’d also perform and put on a show! šŸ˜‚

If you don’t mind me jumping in… I am so like this. It’s taken practicing mindfulness & lots of therapy to be able to stop in the moment to identify my emotions. I had a therapist who would always ask me where I felt things, which was really helpful for me.

For me it’s the fact that I just feel ā€œtooā€ much so I can’t pinpoint exactly what I feel.
But mindfulness has helped in the past, I’ll have to try it again.
And even with that, I still struggle šŸ˜‚
We are all a work in progress but there’s nothing wrong with that :)
