Feelings Demand Attention Beyond Situations
Emotions are complex, having a distinct cycle that includes a beginning, middle, and end. Addressing the situation that triggered the emotion does not resolve the emotion itself; the feeling requires its own process of acknowledgment and expression. People often struggle because societal expectations dictate that once a situation is resolved, feelings should also cease. However, it's crucial to communicate and process these emotions independently, as ignoring them can interfere with personal well-being and authenticity. The perception that one should quickly move past emotions can lead to emotional suppression, fostering a disconnect between personal feelings and external pressure to conform.
