Hi there. I am just wondering I know everyone is diffrent and not all people can do it. I have been practicing and I think im getting good at it BUT i do find myself slipping up and letting my feelings get in the way of certin things.... I used to be someone who ALWAYS let my feelings get in the way of everything I do and that can be a veary dangerous thing....So for you,can you keep your feelings under control or are you like I used to be and your feelings take over ???

Hi there, For this we are called human. Sadly enough we have too little control over our senses. All the seven deadly sins would surround us until and unless we pull a break at certain point or we would lose by now all human attributes. Practice is the only alternative to get over this feelings. But we have to remain human and therefore trying to have victory over all your feelings would be trying to lift ourselves to the ultimate sublimity which is not permissible nor attainable either. We can remain happy with our limitation , what is required is a little human compunction.

Because of my abusive childhood I am very good at hiding my feelings and not letting them get the best of me and not letting others see them. When I was a teen I use to cry late at night secertly and I use to be a cutter, but I have not done that in 20 years now. But I still control my feelings and my feelings never control me.

I am sorry to hear of your past and the things you have been through.. I think that keeping things to yourself id a good thing you cannot get hurt that way and Also with keeping them you have time to think about them before you let them out in the open...having time to make sure it is the right time to let them known.... This is all why I have been practicing on keeping them at bay...and not letting them have control over me...... thanks for your responce

it really depends on whats going on at the time and what its about.. sometimes i can control it some times not.. i just try to avoid the situation now if i think it will get the best of me since i dont want the stress of dealing with it and dont wanna feel like an @ss later if i did overreact

hi.....i can control my feelings most of the time.....especially living in a society its very importatn that we control our feelings and act aprropriately i used to be impulsive wen i was younger but i learnt with time that letting ure feelings out in some situations can cause serious prblms........so the internet is a medium where u can dump all ur feelings thou the ideal situation in life shld be that we shuld say and do wat we feel but because of sociewety norms nd other restrictions it is not possible......so the internet is a medium which gives u all the freedome to say wat u feel without any real life repurcussions..........
