A few days back, I was talking to one of my friend.  She was travelling  on vacation with her parents, leaving her son at home. She was undergoing emotional stress leaving her son for 3 weeks.

But she was shying to express this emotions .   I was wondering, why she was shying to express or talk the emotions she has for her own kid ? Moreover , she said that she feel weird when someone else express such emotions . This was surprising to me , as this lady is very mature and expressive .

Why we shy to express any of our feelings or behavior ?  I think , It is mostly because of two reasons . one, we consider it as a bad thing.   Second , we think that it is a weakness and we want to be strong.

Obviously, emotions for own kid can’t be considered as bad. So she must be having second reason for not expressing it. She think herself very strong and consider emotions as weakness.

Are emotions  sign of any weakness ?

No ….expressing emotions is very courageous . Emotions are true feelings of heart. Only strong people can show their emotions to others.  Hiding emotions is as good as wearing mask to hide our true face.

To gain success in any area of life, we need dedication . Dedication is nothing but a form of emotion.  Here emotions are focused to achieve some goals.  Not having these emotion, it is difficult to stay focused and achieve goals.

We mostly feel proud on our professional emotions, but when it comes to personal emotions, we consider it as weakness. This is result of very high Ego. We think ourselves a self-made person and don’t want to have any dependency. But when we have some emotions for other person, it brings some dependency and this hurts our ego.  In this ego, we forget contribution of others in our life and want to stand alone.

When we don’t consider existence of others and keep doing for our own, it is same like wild animals ..in fact animals also have emotions.  Being a social animal, human behavior demands to accept existence of  other people in life . Emotions is the only bonding  and key element of any relationship.  So when we don’t shy in expressing relations, then why to shy expressing emotions ?

I’m very much introvert. When it comes about personal emotions, I don’t shy expressing my emotions .Sharing emotions with wrong people may create problem for us, as they can take advantage and use us. I share my personal emotions only with people whom I trust and who can understand them.

If we leave our ego aside then we realize .. then our life is nothing , but Emotions . Find your emotions and express 🙂
