Meta-Emotion: How we feel about feelings, and how it can affect our writing

Meta-Emotion: How we feel about feelings, and how
Think about the last time you were in the presence of someone close to you who was experiencing a negative emotion. Anger. Fear. Sadness. Maybe this person was mad at you. Or maybe he had just received some really bad news. Maybe she was crying. Or yelling. Or hyperventilating. Or quietly seething.

Meta-Emotion: How we feel about feelings, and how
Picture it. What did the person look like? Red face? Shaking hands? Furrowed brow? Head in hands? Piercing stare? Slumped shoulders?

What was she doing? Pacing? Weeping? Sighing? Flinching?

And now ... what was your FIRST impulse in responding to this person? Did you want to comfort? Appease? Stifle? Chastise? Did you want to grab him by the shoulders and shake him until he got ahold of himself? Cover your ears? Get away as quickly as you could? Embrace the person until the bad feelings were squeezed right out of her? Protect him from ever feeling that way again?

Wael it's not good to keep bad feelings , its better to share them ....I mean.. to share it with someone very close to you ...( not with everybody of course )...If your negative feelings don't go away may keep you from enjoying life, it's better to throw them away :)) You can tell me anytime your bad feelings , I'll be happy to set you free from them ....Think about it ...OK ??
