The Emotions We Won’t Face
Why Emotional Intelligence Matters
“Your emotions make you human. Even the unpleasant ones have a purpose. Don't lock them away. If you ignore them, they just get louder and angrier.” —Sabaa Tahir
Do you ever feel like you’re not supposed to have certain emotions? That somehow, you’re not allowed to feel certain things? -we all do.
We end up bottling up our feelings and dealing with them in unhealthy ways. Sometimes we become so numb that we don’t even feel we have them. Many people feel barren inside -usually, this happens more with men than women.
As a society, we must embrace our vulnerability and emotions. We think of them in “negative” and “positive” terms, but emotions aren’t negative or positive. And they are a vital part of who we are as human beings.
