Do any of you guys actually do it? Be honest with yourself..

Personaly, I don't express how I actually feel because I believe people take advantage of it.

So, does anybody else here hold back what they really think due to the judgement of others?

I hold back to an extent. If its small I won't sweat it but if it's worth showing true emotion over I'm not shy.

I don't hold back, that's false advertising. I'm not afraid of the judgement of others, as it has no bearing on what I'm going to do. I guess I have tough skin, and can take people's judgement, like it or not.

So in answer to the question; No, I don't change my behavior or not show emotion for fear of how other will see me. Not only do I think it's disingenuous, but it's not a good way to live your life IMO. Life is too short to not show emotion you damn robot!

I don't let myself become emotionally vulnerable until I am around people I truly trust. I present an indifferent exterior to most of the world, and I'm charming enough when I need to interact with others, but I don't trust or like most of the people that I meet. I am a very emotional person, and I love to let that shine through in a safe environment. It's easy for people to take advantage of you through your emotions if you let them, so I think it's prudent to use caution in whom you trust in this way...

After one of the biggest mushroom doses I've ever taken, i came to the conclusion that i merely pretend to have emotion, that i really don't feel any...

But that's just silly, because off of mushrooms, i do. I was just tripping really REALLY hard.

It's weird though, my girlfriend lives about 3 hours away, every time i go see her or she comes to see me, when we are saying good bye she cries. Something i just don't understand, i wonder why i don't feel so intensely about it as she does. Sometimes i wish i could feel more emotion, sometimes i wish i had less control over my emotions. But it is what it is... can't really change it now.

I think, depending on how much control we have over our emotions, will dictate our perceptions about life in many different ways. I've found out over the years, that most people i know that do not have much control over them, tend to be more superstitious than those who do.

Every once in a while, ill just give into a good cry, when consciousness and awareness take their tole on me, and existence just seems like too much sometimes. Sometimes i just get sad because i can't stop thinking about the millions of people in the world that are struggling, while im sitting here with more than i could have ever imagined, on my computer, being lazy and comfortable while others are suffering... it makes me feel guilty.

Good question Hep, made me think long and hard. Excited to see you on the ps3 soon, can't wait to fuck up some zombies with ya on some call of duty bro. Thanks again, great question.

On a side note... is it weird, that whenever i tell someone i love them, i don't even know what the fuck that means?

...I was apprehensive about posting in this thread :lol:

...seriously, I needed to redefine what emotion was before I could express it. Our emotional centers are usually tainted by the ego. So, I think part of the task is to figure that out first, then the judgement of others carries no weight and one is free to express.
