Lack Feelings= Weakness?


Posts: 557

I think you should not listen to people who wanna tell you what weakness and strength is... I think you gotta find what you think makes you strong and weak. I mean maybe the strongest thing you can do is not be afraid to be yourself. 

You told me yourself you feel some emotions. Its not a complete lack. I learned that emotions just kind of reinforced thoughts. 

You think something is unfair - You get angry and it motivates you want to defend your honor. 

You want something - You feel desire and attraction to motivate you to pursue it.

Emotions are not necessary because the mind is the boss. It just reinforces the thoughts your mind generates. It is not weakness or strength it is more of a motivation to behave on your thoughts. It has up sides and downsides.I know people don't even need emotions to not murder. It is not necessary as I said it reinforces thoughts.

If you wanna be strong then find the strength to be yourself without looking to everyone to tell you your beliefs. I think the most fundamental freedom is the freedom to believe and think on our own. In the end I just don't want you to feel bad for being different. I don't want this article to shame you or lead you for the way your mind works. It is society that says it is bad because they are afraid that without emotions you have no limits. It is afraid you would kill everyone and be a threat to the human race. I know it might be easier to commit murder. I don't think a person needs emotions to restrain them self. I mean even emotions can lead to murder. I hear about spouses who kill their cheating lovers. 

I think sociopaths are kind of demonized. I think people see them as some sort of evil without restraint. I think they see someone who can not feel as much so they fear it because it is different. I fear the people who need emotions to restrain themselves. I think emotions are too wavering to be used as the barrier between a murderer and a non murderer. 

I know people who are told they are monster can think they are monsters and can begin to behave as monster. I know people who are told they are fat and lazy will think they are fat and lazy and will behave fat and lazy. It is actually more beneficial to tell the person they are healthy or good and this is a misstep though they will be back on track. It will have them have more faith in themselves to be good or be healthy. 

I am saying... You are a sociopath. You are strong because you are not afraid to be who you are. You have less emotions and it does not make you weak. You have less emotions and it does not mean you are closed away. It just means your mind does not amplify and reinforce your thoughts with emotions.

YOU ARE YOU WITH OR WITHOUT A LOT OF EMOTIONS. YOU ARE THE MIND AND SOUL. YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO BE YOURSELF WITHOUT REGRET.

This person is probably just an emotional trainwreck that enjoys crying to people and being cried to. It's not worth it.

Lack Feelings= Weakness?

I was reading an article from Psych Central about feeling deeply. This paragraph stood out, especially the first sentence:

"I get that we are born to feel and to lack feeling would be a great weakness.  And I get that feeling things deeply is a gift.  I get that it opens me up to things in the world that I would be otherwise closed off to.  And I get that it opens me up to people and helps me relate to others.  And it helps me write because it helps me find the universal."
