..in English language to describe feelings. A little tidbit I found out about today. Most of us are familiar with approximately 200, but we primarily use very few of them (happy, angry, sad, confused, excited, disappointed etc.) and often focus on the negative ones, they get memorised in somewhat deeper way.

I won't ask you how you feel, it's been done to death.

I would like to ask how you would never want to feel again. What emotion would you not want to endure in the future, if you could make that choice?

I'll start with "disloyalty".

Let's do some soul cleansing.

I wouldn't lose any of them, I have had heartbreak but it reminds me of how much I loved someone. If I felt nothing it would devalue that love. You need the lows to truly appreciate the highs and make you work to avoid it.

The emotions caused by it are specific to me and not ones I I to pour out; I am not an emotional exhibitionist.

I could write feeling sad or betrayed due to disloyalty but I didn't. To break it down for you: 'I do not want to endure feelings caused by someone being disloyal to me'.

To help me understand a little better. Because the feelings of disloyalty can include : loss (of friendship), being cheated upon, being lied to.

Do you want to elaborate ? I'm curious. Is it about not dealing with too much ? Easier if there is little going on in feelings department and you detach yourself a little ?

Envy is just one of the emotions we go through. It's not as self destructive as jealousy I feel. Sometimes can be motivating too? I am sorry you feel it blocked you from enjoying things. Do you think it will ever change ?

Letting go is an art indeed. Or maybe not art.. hard learnt skill? You can get attached to replaying those scenarios so much that as you said you can't enjoy Today. Maybe it's worth thinking of forgiving oneself ?

As above. I spent an entire year completely shut down and not feeling anything.

When that broke and all the negative feelings surged it felt amazing to feel anything at all. The positive ones that came later were better of course.

So another vote for the worst being to feel nothing.

I completely agree and it’s a skill I haven’t learned! I find that talking about things really helps me compartmentalise them. Can’t wait to get home to Oxfordshire/Surrey to see friends again!
