Where Does No Expression of Emotions Come From?



         To know how to emotionally feel better, you have to know why you aren't emotionally healthy to start with. Eddie Chauncy, author of  "Why Do People Hide Their Emotions?", says that hiding your emotions usually starts in your childhood. His overall purpose of his article is to inform his audience of why emotional health is important and how up you can insure you have this. He points out that as an example, a child who attempt to share their feelings with their parents and are met with indifference. He explains that an effect to this could be that the child learns there is no benefit to showing any emotion, therefore, they hide how they are really feeling. He also tells his audience that this lesson could become more of an issue as the child grows. His viewpoint of the situation is that bad emotional health could lead to further, and far worse issues. Furthermore, he believes that a very important trait to life is being emotionally healthy. This leads me to believing that his main idea is that emotional health is important.
         Eddie Chauncy's article includes conflicting evidence stating that hiding your emotions can be a good alternate in some cases. He explains restraint on how you feel may be used for the interests of other people. He gives an example on this that he once was in a bad situation, but gave self restraint on his distress with other people while at work. This slants my opinion because he is telling his audience that hiding your emotions could make you feel worse in many different cases, but doing so could be used for specific cases.

Why Do We Hide How We Are Feeling?

        Have you found that you have a negative change in attitude, more aging, or strange mood swings and outbursts? It is possible you are mourning over emotions that you never let out. This website includes the different viewpoints of why we suppress our emotions, how it affects us, and what we can do to change it. If this is you, keep reading for how you can feel phyisically and emotionally radiant.

What Could Happen If We Repress Our Emotions?

      Why is it so important to express how we feel? The article Angry Feelings by Carmel Wynne says that suppressing how we truly feel could lead to lashing out on others when we can't hold it in any longer. The author uses the emotion, angry, as an example to explain this. The purpose of her article is the persuade the audience to never hold back our anger, or it could lead to future problems. This leads me to believe her viewpoint is that your feelings are important and should be expressed. For this reason the main idea is to express your feelings ( specifically anger in the article ) to keep you at your best emotional health.
      Caramel Wynne's conflicting evidence is that because anger is one of the seven deadly sins in Religion, we find that we all have reason to suppress it. But she concludes after this that anger is natural and should be expressed no matter what. This slants my opinion that anger should be expressed no matter what in order to keep from having an emotional outburst in the future.

Releasing Your Emotions and Feeling Emotionally Fit


            In order to feel better emotionally, you have to release what emotions linger. Mary Kurus, author of "Emotions - How To Understand, Identify and Release Your Emotions", view point is that everyone is different, therefore different methods could and would be used for different people. She gives many different methods to do so. Her purpose is to inform her audience the different techniques that can be used in order to confront and release your emotions. Some of her examples of expressing and releasing your feelings is to shift your perspective of how other people would feel in the same situation, detach and give yourself time to understand your emotions, or to know your fears and see how they affect your other emotions. The overall main idea of Mary Kurus's article is that we all have different ways of releasing our emotions and it is very important to.
            Mary Kurus's article slants my opinion into wanting to do these different techniques, because she explains how this could make you feel better about yourself in many different ways. She gives little conflicting evidence on how these techniques could negatively affect me, leading me to believe these methods will have no negative affects on me.
