When I pose the question of the term being an \u201cencompassing\u201d term, I mean to ask does it cover everything you feel? Does it support your feelings that can\u2019t be contained using just one emotion? Is \u201coverwhelmed\u201d too generic of a feeling and doesn\u2019t let you separate your feelings from what others feel? You can choose to wonder about this the way you would like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for me (and a little more relevant to this life class!).. I will speak of the emotion: Fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me thinks \u201cfear\u201d is a topic that not everyone is ready to talk about. Fear of doing something new, of various phobias, of unexpected outcomes, of failures or of someone dying..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should one be ready to talk about it right now? No. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will one ever be ready to discuss it? Who knows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have great tools to mask our fears. Some of these tools are humour, rationalisation, self blame and.. a few more that you could think of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do they help us sail through life? Yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will it help one in their relationship? Who knows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, my reflections betray me. My mind acknowledges fear but also doesn\u2019t want to engage further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is avoidance? Maybe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
