Emotions are what make us human. If it were solely based on intelligence, we'd all be like Data from Star Trek Next Generation, or Vulcans from the original Star Trek. I believe in order to be happy in life you have to be happy with yourself and the people you care about. It doesn't matter what you do, where you live, how much stuff you have or how much money you can make. A job is a job. You should be able to work at one with out it upsetting you on a daily basis. People need to learn how to deal with their emotions. Keeping your feelings bottled up inside only makes things worse, and the longer you do the worse they can become. Of course if people could deal with the way the feel with the people they feel that way about therapists would be out of jobs. We’ve become a society where it’s OK, not to tell people how you feel. To keep your emotions tucked away. We tell our therapists about it and that makes it all better? What about the people that caused you to feel those emotions in the first place? You still haven’t confronted them. They will probably keep doing whatever it is they do to make you feel that way. Emotional confrontations are always the most difficult thing to do in life, especially the closer someone is to you, but in the end people would be better off.
